Polish national colours, which is a rarity are of heraldic origin. They derive from the colours of the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Poland and the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

The red-and-white colours were first recognised as national colours on 3 May 1792, on the first anniversary of the signing of the May Constitution.
