Black Flags

Derived from the heraldic tincture sable, black provides stark structural contrast on Central European constitutional tricolors such as Germany and Belgium.

In European heraldry, black frequently originates in imperial or ducal beasts (the black eagle of the Holy Roman Empire in Germany; the black lion of Brabant in Belgium) paired with gold and red.
