Using the Palestine flag colours
Hex for screens, CMYK for print. Use the hex or RGB values for websites, slides and social media, and the CMYK values when a printer asks for them. They are the values Wikipedia’s article on the flag gives; printed colours always vary a little with the paper and ink.

What the colours are said to mean
Four colours, four readings (Wikipedia, “Flag of Palestine”):
- Black: the Abbasid dynasty.
- White: the Umayyad dynasty.
- Green: the Fatimid dynasty.
- Red: the Hashemite dynasty.
These are interpretations rather than an official definition, and the article notes that the flag’s origins are debated.
