All sources confirms that Cartagene used the colours green and
white, but it is not known in which order. I will follow Restrepo
Uribe who said that was green over white, but I have at
least two quotations speaking about white and green colours. Most
probably is that both forms were used. About in 1810 those
colours were mainly used as cockarde, but also as banners, flags
and bands. Of course proportions 2:3 (as I reconstructed the
images) are unrealistic. Each flag used must be of different
size, hand made. Same is for shade of green that must be from the
fabric available. This colours were used only after 11 November
1811 and until at less January 1812.
