Well then we should start pooling in.
The only ones I have is that dots are a traditional pattern in african dresses and that some african tribes do not distinguish between green, blue and purple. They have same names for all of them.

All right then. Some dots are unimportant. I put them there to make the puzzle more interesting.

It has to do with a certain African flag.
 
 
As I said, only one hue is important. So, can you visualize another figure?

Nope. Focus on current flags. The page below might help.

Well, my Libya answer was current at the time the problem was posted! Gaddafi was still in power and Libya still had the all green flag when you posted that.
