Colors on flags come in different tinges, so red is not always the same
red, and blue is not the same blue, as you can see on these flags here:
Flag of The Netherlands Flag of Paraguay
Be aware that
Little differences in color and the flag's size as well as the symbols
shown on it, can make a huge difference! Therefore beware when
drawing your flags!
Hanging flags with the wrong colouring or hanging upside down, can
also cause confusion or even misunderstandings and can be seen as
respectless should this occur at important state functions. So
remember which color goes on which side and which color is to be
displayed on top
Flag colour guide
In many flags the colors refer to nature, such as blue often represents
the sea or water or even the blue sky, green symbolising green
grassland and forests, yellow refers often to grain or maize fields or
the sun, white to snow or clouds, but there are some meanings which
represent not only important national symbols but also the virtues of
a country.
Interesting
There is no flag which is unicolor, that is using only one colour
without any letters or writing or displaying any symbol anymore.
The Libyan flag until 2011 was plain green! But the flag of Saudi
Arabia, see above, comes pretty close, doesn't it?
