The flag of Libya
Libya's flag was adopted in 1977, after leaving the Federation of Arab Republics. Green is the national color of Libya as well as a symbol of devotion to Islam.

A note to the image in Album des pavillons explains that it could be also in ratio 2:3, and that there are yet unconfirmed reports of what might be naval ensign green with two crossed anchors in the middle.
Regarding the flag usage, Whitney Smith's works designate - Albums des pavillons shows only keeping the possibility open for the naval ensign, and having no information for what state owned vessels carry.
