White Flags

In heraldry and vexillology, white corresponds to the metal silver (argent) and serves as the essential high-contrast separator between colored stripes, crosses, and emblems.

Under the heraldic rule of tincture, a white fimbriation or central pale separates dark colors like blue and red or green and orange so bands remain distinct at long distance.
