Flag of FLNKS

The flag of the FLNKS was adopted during the first congress of the party in the beginning of the 1980s.
The official colours of the flag are:
- Blue: Pantone 286c; Cyan 100 - Magenta 72
- Red: Pantone 032c; Magenta 100 - Yellow 100
- Green: Pantone 347c; Cyan 100 - Yellow 70
- Yellow : Pantone 102c; Yellow 100 - Magenta 10.

Blue symbolizes the sky and the surrounding ocean, the sovereignty in the Pacific Ocean of the Kanak people.
Red symbolizes the blood shed in the struggle for independence, socialism, and the unity of the Kanak people.
Green symbolizes the land of the ancestors, the soil, the country.

The golden disc represents the sun on which is inscribed the roof of a traditional house with a flèche faitière (an arrow for roof) and a tutut, that is a marine shell.

Pascal Vagnat, 22 December 1998
