They're brothers and sisters, and the colours represent the same strengths and struggles.

Jan 22, 2023
They're really similar, but I found out the difference.

Romania uses Cobalt blue, but Chad uses Indigo blue, so Chad's flag is a shade of blue darker.

I know it doesn't make sense though.🤷

Apparently, Chad also had the ability to change the blue to green once, but they feared it would be too similar to Mali's flag, so they chose to be Romania's identical twin (not really) instead.
