The flag of Guinea consists of three vertical stripes of equal width. From left to right, the colors are red, yellow, and green. Each color has a specific representation: the red stands for the people's sacrifice for independence, the yellow symbolizes the sun and the country's mineral wealth, and the green signifies the country's lush vegetation and hope for a prosperous future. This flag, along with many other African nations, is influenced by the Pan-African colors advocated by Marcus Garvey, a prominent Black nationalist leader from Jamaica.
