List of All Countries With Red, Purple, and Black Flags

Below is the full list. The table shows Flag, Colors present, and Meaning.

Which countries have national flags with red, purple, and black?

Only Dominica. Its flag has a green field with a centered cross of yellow, black, and white bands, a red disk, and a purple Sisserou parrot at the center. Confirm this using authoritative sources such as Flags of the World (FOTW), the Government of Dominica, and the CIA World Factbook.

Why is purple so rare on national flags?

Purple is rare because the dye was costly for most of history and heraldry rarely used purple. Few national symbols naturally show purple, so most flags avoid it. Dominica uses purple because of the native Sisserou parrot. Check FOTW and national sources for more examples, and include historical or territorial flags if you need a longer list.
