The Romania flag was officially adopted on December 27, 1989.

Romania's flag displays colors from its previous associations with the Ottoman Empire, as the red and blue were once part of the former Ottoman province of Moldova's flag, and the red and yellow were similarly part of the Ottoman province of Wallachia's flag.
