The orange color represents the savannas that dominate the landscape of the country. The white color symbolizes peace, while the green color represents hope and the country's forests. The flag was adopted on December 3, 1959, when Ivory Coast gained independence from France.

It was designed by Houphouët-Boigny, the first president of Ivory Coast, who chose the colors based on their symbolism for the country. The flag has remained unchanged since its adoption, and it is an important national symbol for the people of Ivory Coast.
