National flag

The horizontal tricolor was officially adopted on 5 August 1906, with proportion 1:3, after a Constitution was forced on Shah Muzaffar al-Din (14 August 1905).

Harald Müller & Jaume Ollé, 14 May 1996 - 10 November 1999

Colours used in the Persian tricolour are expressly described as very pale.
