The ratio is 2:3.
It was adopted on November 6, 1959 (just before independence from France in 1960) and is a combination of the French tricolor and the Pan-African colors.
Meaning of the colors:
Blue: the sky, hope, and the water in the south (including Lake Chad).
Yellow: the sun and the Sahara in the north.
Red: national sacrifice, unity, and the blood shed for independence.
The flag strongly resembles that of Romania (the blue of Chad is slightly darker).
