About Grenadian Spice & Nutmeg Flag
Grenada is the only nation to place a nutmeg on its flag — a declaration of identity adopted at independence in 1974. This design system channels the island's spice-trade heritage: hand-stencilled crate stamps, copperplate botanical plates, brass-gilt accents on kraft paper, all set against the deep green of the nutmeg-grove canopy.
The palette fuses the Grenadian tricolour with the earthy tones of the processing cooperative — brick-red shell, crimson mace, cocoa brown — creating a visual language that is simultaneously archival and proudly post-colonial.
