Red and white; the Mexican flag also has a green stripe. Both flags have different coats of arms: in the Canadian flag you can find a maple leaf, while the Mexican flag has an eagle devouring a snake atop a cactus.
An eagle atop a cactus, devouring a snake. It is present on the Mexican coat of arms, and on the Mexican flag.
The Mexican and Italian flags look almost exactly the same to the untrained eye: three vertical green, white and red bars. However, besides the Mexican coat of arms -- an eagle devouring a snake atop a cactus -- both have different proportions (2:3 for the Italian flag vs. 4:7 for the Mexican flag). Also, both have different color tones: Italian flag (RGB values): #009246, #F1F2F1, #CE2B37 Mexican flag (RGB values): #006847, #FFFFFF, #CE1126
The US and Mexican flags are different designs and they mean different things. The US flag is symbolic of the original 13 colonies, and of the current number of states in the Union. The Mexican flag is symbolic of the foundation myth of the Mexica (Aztec) tribe, who are said to have founded their great city where they saw an eagle perched on a cactus plant with a snake in its mouth.
better question, what color is the mexican flag?
It's difficult to tell, as the Mexican flag has a full color depiction of an eagle killing a snake on a cactus. (A symbol used by Aztecs in ancient times to tell when it was time to make a new home.) The flag is cut into three vertical columns, green, white, and red, from left to right. The eagle is in the middle, primarily a matte gold, with green cactus and snake. There are also traces of black and blue.
None of them. If has a golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) atop a cactus, devouring a snake.
