File talk:Flag of Finland.svg

- but it appears this doesn't work on Wikipedia; there is a little icon to the right, inside the border... which happens because the border is being applied remotely from the Commons, and when the description of the image is imported into Wikipedia, it recognizes the image in the border as an external link and flags it appropriately. If the border is applied locally on Wikipedia, that icon should not appear.

Huh? w:Finland uses {{border|[[Image:Flag of Finland.svg|125px]]}} right at the top of the article, with no problem. User:dbenbenn 11:44, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Shade of blue

Wikipedia article and Finlandia flaga wymiary.png says CMYK tones for Blue are C 100%, M 56% ,Y 0%, K 18.5%, but colors in this picture are C 100%, M 53%, Y 0, K 47% .

There are no official CMYK tones. The official blue color is Y = 5.86, x = 0.1856 and y = 0.1696 or L* = 29.06, a* = 7.24 and b* = -36.98 in CIE, 4060-R90B in NCS or 294C in PMS.[1]. Translating these accurately to RGB or CMYK seems to be more or less impossible. All you can do is an approximation, which may look wrong on another monitor. The white has not been defined, so I guess it is RGB(255,255,255). --Lakefall 14:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

The cross is too fat. EJavanainen (talk) 10:03, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

IMHO it meets exactly the rules as in Flag of Finland (Construction sheet).svg; a skinnier example as Alkuperalippu.svg does not. sarang사랑 06:25, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Simplification

Currently the flag is a Structured SVG with 3 SVG-rectangles (275 bytes). With 1 rect and 1 path it would need 231 bytes

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="1800" height="1100">
<rect width="1800" height="1100" fill="#fff"/>
<path stroke-width="300" stroke="#003580" d="m650,0v1100m1150-550H0"/>
</svg>

Code optimization

It’s possible to optimize the code of this file:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 18 11" width="1800" height="1100">
<path d="M0,0H18V11H0" fill="#fff"/>
<path d="M0,4H5V0H8V4H18V7H8V11H5V7H0z" fill="#003580"/>
</svg>

It takes 201 bytes only (with LF line endings).

The blue shade

I know this has been discussed before, but according to the very law that defines this flag, the closest Pantone approximation to the shade of blue used is 294 C, which in RGB is #002F6C (according to their website). Should the existing color be changed to that? SURJECTION _{·talk·contr·log·} 22:24, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, the shade of blue is incorrect. It should be changed to #002F6C.
