Armenia vs Venezuela
These two are close enough that people routinely draw one when they mean the other. Take the challenge first — the flags are further down the page.
The challenge
Practice
Draw the flag from memory.
What actually differs
- Armenia uses orange where Venezuela uses yellow.
- Armenia is three equal horizontal bands; Venezuela is three horizontal bands with an emblem.
- Armenia flies at 1:2 and Venezuela at 2:3, so side by side one looks longer than the other.
- Even the shared colours are mixed differently: red (#D90012 against #CF0821) and blue (#0033A0 against #00247D).
How to keep them straight
Armenia: Lock in the order — red, blue then orange — from the top down. Say it out loud once and you will still have it tomorrow.
Venezuela: Colombia with stars — and equal stripes instead of a double-height yellow.
The drawing scorer is built for exactly this: if you swap the colours of Armenia it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
