The World Taekwondo Federation is the international sporting federation
governing the sport of taekwondo. The WTF was established on May 28, 1973 with
participation of 35 representatives from the world and until this day there is a
total of 205 Member Nations. International Olympic Committee recognized the WTF
in 1980. Taekwondo was adopted as a demonstration sport of the 1988 Olympic
Games in Seoul, then taekwondo was adopted as an official sport of the Sydney
2000 Olympic Games.

The protocol manual for the London 2012 Olympics
(Flags and Anthems Manual London 2012 [loc12])
provides recommendations for flag designs. Each
international federation and international
paralympics federation was sent an image of the flag, including the PMS
shades, for their approval by LOCOG. Once this was obtained, LOCOG produced a 60
x 90 cm version of the flag for further approval. So, while these specs may not
be the official version of each flag, they are certainly what the
international federation and
international paralympics federation believed the flag to be.

Last year Ian Sumner made some scans from the flag manual for the London
2012 Olympics (Flags and Anthems Manual London 2012) which provides
recommendations for flag designs of international sporting federations.
For World Taekwondo Federation - WTF: PMS 286 blue, PMS 7406 yellow, PMS 200
red, and PMS black.
