South Korea flag colors
The taegukgi is mostly white: the field takes 80 percent, and the four black trigrams, the blue lower half of the taeguk and its red upper half divide the remaining fifth almost evenly. Korean law defines the colours in the Munsell and CIE systems rather than in anything a screen can use, so these are measured from the artwork instead.
