What colors does the German flag have?

Germany’s national flag is a horizontal tricolor with black on top, red in the middle, and gold at the bottom. These are the official federal colors established in the Basic Law tradition and used by the modern Federal Republic.

• Focus on the modern federal colors associated with the democratic tradition, not the imperial era (which included white).
• Eliminate any option that introduces colors not found on the German flag (e.g., green or white).
• Remember the official term uses “gold,” not “yellow.”
• Be wary of distractors that rearrange legitimate colors or swap one for a similar-sounding alternative.
