The pink, white and green tricolour flag, or PWG, can be seen all around Newfoundland and Labrador.
The original point of a flag was to be able to identify it at a distance, either in battle or at sea. For this you need bold, simple colors. Red, yellow, blue, green, black and white are the most common. More delicate shades such as pink or lavender are more likely to be misread.
