The flag of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship is a tricolour rectangle, with the aspect ratio of height to width of 5:8. It consist of three horizontal stripes: red, white, and black, with white stripe being twice the size of the other ones. The proportion of three stripes are: 1⁄4 for red and black, and 1⁄2 for white.[1][2]
