This flag is clearly “dark” yellow as the stars of the municipal
emblem, which are yellow, show lighter and contrast
on it.
António Martins, 14 November 2017
Plain dark yellow flag with centered emblem, according to photographic evidence online:
The municipal emblem shows the usual circular “shield”/disc,
dark blue with a light blue arched window shape (round above and square
below, like an inverted Iberian heraldic shield), from which the upper
body of a prey bird (the Cape Verde buzzard, Buteo bannermani?)
can be seen, with black beak and plumage in shades of white to ruddy
brown; all around the edge of the disc a light grey edge with four notches
at the cardinal points and four square inward protuberances pointing
inwards at the inter-cardinal points (a clockwork wheel?).
Outside the disc, the usual ten stars and chain
links — this time they are green and four in number. The scroll below
the disc reads "Porto Novo" between two large dots in serif bold
capitals. The shape of the scroll is similar to that of, i.a.,
Tarrafal mun., also shaped like a cloth strung
and hung from two poles, but this time the poles are brown in color; the
scroll is white and its draping is simpler than
Tarrafal’s.

The emblem (and thus the flag) existed
already in 2006, as evidenced by this
leaflet.
