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
- Ghana uses gold where Lithuania uses yellow.
- Ghana is three horizontal bands with an emblem; Lithuania is three equal horizontal bands.
- Ghana flies at 2:3 and Lithuania at 3:5, so side by side one looks longer than the other.
- Even the shared colours are mixed differently: red (#CE1126 against #C1272D) and green (#006B3F against #006A44).
How to keep them straight
Ghana: Lock in the order — red, gold then green — from the top down. Say it out loud once and you will still have it tomorrow.
Lithuania: Lock in the order — yellow, green then red — from the top down. Say it out loud once and you will still have it tomorrow.
The drawing scorer is built for exactly this: if you swap the colours of Ghana it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
