Start with the larger yellow band
Colombia’s flag has yellow above blue above red. The yellow band occupies the upper half of the flag; blue and red each occupy a quarter below it. Remember that unequal height when you recognize the three bands.
When the Colombia prompt appears, use the yellow upper area as your anchor, then check the two smaller lower bands in order. Remembering only yellow, blue and red leaves both placement and proportions unresolved.
Check the national arrangement in the Colombian foreign ministry’s flag specification. Use it for placement, then check your color choices in Color My Flag; the specification does not give the game’s accepted digital palette.
Distinguish the two different lower bands
| Region | Intended color | National proportion |
|---|---|---|
| Upper band | Yellow | Half the height |
| Middle band | Blue | A quarter of the height |
| Bottom band | Red | A quarter of the height |
Use these proportions to recognize the template. Check the current controls before assuming you can change the regions’ height. If the game supplies the shapes, concentrate on choosing the color that belongs in each one.
Blue and red have equal height, so their size will not tell you which belongs above the other. You need the order: blue in the middle, red at the bottom. That is the part to check after anchoring the yellow field.
Do not replace the design with a generic tricolour
A common mental shortcut is to imagine three equal horizontal stripes. That shortcut misses Colombia’s wider yellow band. Another is to swap the lower colors while keeping yellow correct, producing a neat-looking arrangement that still does not match this design.
Separate those mistakes in your review. First recognize the large upper area. Then inspect blue and red individually. Do not let the appearance of yellow dominate your attention so completely that you overlook the bottom edge.
The ordinary national flag described here has no central coat of arms. Do not add an emblem from a different flag reference or assume that another yellow-blue-red design supplies the answer for this prompt.
Review the edges before fine-tuning shades
Scan from top to bottom along an edge where all bands are visible. Read yellow, blue, red aloud or in a short mental reminder. Then look across the middle boundary to ensure that blue has not been replaced by red.
If the arrangement is right, inspect each selected shade. Choosing a yellow family and choosing its brightness are different decisions. Check the family and brightness of blue and red separately too, then inspect the colors on their intended flag regions.
Use the color picker guide to adjust one control at a time. Check each selection in the game rather than treating that guide as a HEX answer table for Colombia.
Learn from a repeated Colombia prompt
On a later attempt at the same flag, keep the layout decisions consistent while changing the clearest palette problem. If you swap the lower bands and alter every shade together, the resulting percentage will not isolate which correction helped.
Watch the countdown and leave time for a final sequence check. Begin with the large yellow area to keep your place, but check the current mode rules before assuming that band carries extra scoring weight.
For a simpler top-to-bottom recognition problem, read the Ukraine guide. The accuracy guide explains how to review a percentage without inventing an equation.

FAQ
Which color is at the top of Colombia’s flag?
Yellow. It occupies the upper half of the national design.
Is blue above or below red?
Blue is above red, in the middle band. Red is the bottom band.
Are all three bands the same height?
No. Yellow takes half the height; blue and red each take a quarter. Use that relationship to recognize the template rather than assuming an editing feature.
Does a correct layout guarantee 100%?
No. Correct the arrangement first, then review your color choices in the game. The national layout does not tell you the exact game palette or its scoring tolerance.
