The flag of Jamaica was adopted on 6 August 1962 (Jamaican Independence Day), the country having gained independence from the British-protected Federation of the West Indies. The flag consists of a gold saltire, which divides the flag into four sections: two of them green (top and bottom) and two black (hoist and fly). The Jamaican flag is the only national flag in the world not to feature the colours red, white, or blue. Sepia Tone. Zoom In. Full HD.
