Purple Flags
Purple Flags - symbology -
No modern-day country uses purple as a main color on its national flag. In fact, purple only appears in two instances at all -- the flag of Nicaragua (as detailing on a rainbow) and the flag of Dominica (in a representation of a sisserou parrot).
The current flag of Qatar was originally intended to be purple-red (as a blended reference to the tradional red flag and the region's historical production of purple dye) but the color-distorting effect of the desert climate led to an eventual redesign, resulting in the modern, maroon flag.
