Gabon Flag
Gabon's flag is a multicolored flag with three horizontal bars of equal width in green, yellow, and blue. The flag's colors have cultural, political, and regional significance. The yellow stripe refers to the Equator, which runs through the country, and also represents the sun.
Gabon's natural resources are represented by the green band, which includes huge wooded areas that are economically vital to the country's lumber sector. The blue band signifies the water, specifically the South Atlantic Ocean, which runs along Gabon's vast coastline.
Some sources state that the middle band is only yellow, while others state that it is both yellow and gold. Gabon's flag was approved on August 9, 1960, following the country's independence from France.
