As early as the 17th century, red, white and green were an important motif at coronation ceremonies.
In the 1830s patriotic citizens began to wear these colours, and during the 1848 revolution the tricolour was adopted as the national flag. It was officially reintroduced in 1957.
The colours are those of Hungary’s coat of arms: red shield, white bands, patriarchal cross and three green hills.
