National colours are frequently part of a
country's set of
national
symbols.
Many states and nations have formally adopted a set of
colours as their official "national colours" while
others have
de facto national colours that
have become well-known through popular use. National colours often
appear on a variety of different media, from the nation's
flag to the colours used in
sports.
