National colours

National colours are frequently part of a country's set of national symbols.

Many states and nations have formally adopted a set of colors as their official "national colours" while others have de facto national colours that have become well-known through popular use. National colors often appear on a variety of different mediums, from the nation's flag to their sports jersies.
