Watching the Olympics, it looks like the British flag is a brighter blue than I had thought. This got me to wondering if the shade of blue in the flag had ever changed since it was introduced? Also, how are such things defined in the UK? For instance, there is an Official Greek Flag in a vault in Athens, which you can arrange to see, then go off to make your own flag in just that shade of blue , at least as you perceive it. In the past, some countries used the "Y'all drop by the office and pick up a swatch to match" approach. Grelber |

Nowadays flags are strictly described in terms of dimensions and colour makeup, such colour descriptions in the past were always more vague. |

The Blue in the union flag gets darker as it gets wetter, so 99% of the time it looks darker than it is. |

You can use any blue (but we are entitled to hang you for the wrong one). :-) Pantone 280c |
