Colors (redux)

[edit]

@MapGrid @Mike Rohsopht and anyone else interested. The current red color used on this file, Pantone 186, has been used since 2008. This is likely an assumption based on other flags in the area such as Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait and so on. However, many sources show Pantone Red 032. This includes the London 2012 Flags Manual. This in turn is likely from Album des Pavilions 2000 via Flags of the World. The US Department of State also uses (approximately) this color. https://www.state.gov/countries-areas/yemen/yemen-flag/

Given the lack of official specifications (and a stable government) at this time, should we change the red to #EF3340? 98.213.225.105 13:36, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
