Colors[edit]

There seems to be some disagreement about the colors. I can't find an authoritative source, but the London 2012 Olympics Flags and Anthems Manual lists gives the pantone values 305 and 109 for the green and yellow respectively. This is a slightly different yellow and a noticeably warmer and lighter green. Is there a source for the darker green?

Authoritative sources seem to just say "green" and "gold". Perhaps we should use "dbb40c" "15b01a" based on this: https://xkcd.com/color/rgb/, but a survey in Mauritians would be a better basis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morganwahl (talk • contribs) 01:53, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not centered?[edit]

Maybe it's me, but aren't the crescent and star a bit too high ? They always seemed more centered on the middle of the flag to me.--Aréat (talk) 03:29, 5 February 2019 (UTC

I wonder - I always had the impression that crescent and star really seem to be slight higher than expected to be "in the middle". --ProloSozz (talk) 13:54, 8 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
