Nevis uses a distinctive flag: yellow, with on the
fly a green triangle with a blue base and a small white
triangle on top, in the canton the national flag.
Mark Sensen, 26 Oct 1995
The Album 2000 [pay00] says:
4. Nevis.Yellow ensign with the national flag in the canton and triangular emblem in the fly. The emblem consists of a green isoscales triangle with a blue stripe along the base and white smaller triangle with the the green one, offset somewhat towards the top. The dimensions are given in the Album [pay00] as (6+8):(9~+14~). The tildes on length measurements are due to the tilde in the overall ratio 3:5~. Saying the same in other words, the flag in the canton is 3/7 of the hoist high and appropriately long as the national flag should be (2:3). The emblem seems to be triangle of base size equal to its hieght, both being about 8 units (i.e. 8/14 of hoist; matching the album as close as possible is 8.4/14). The blue base about 2 units (exactly 1.75) and white triangle base and hieght about 3 units (exactly 2.8 in my image), distance between blue and white parts equal to the blue stripe. All these measurements are of little weight, unless they could be confirmed.3:5~
Depending on sources, the colour of the lower stripe
of the triangle on the fly of the flag of Nevis is either
blue or black.
