Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/lipis/flag-icons/issues/569

https://github.com/lipis/flag-icon-css/blob/master/flags/4x3/bg.svg

Your colors:

green: #00966E
red: #D62612

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Bulgaria

colors:

green: #009B75
red: #D01C1F

A minor difference, but raises the question: Are all other flags correct?

Hi,

Could you make a PR that updates the colors in those lines:
github.com/lipis/flag-icon-css@dcce4f04fa/flags/4x3/bg.svg (L3-L5)

Are all other flags correct?

Correct is hard to define as most flags seem to have not that precise color definitions and the ones that have are defined as Pantone colors on Cotton (like 17-5936 ТСX in this case) which isn't the same as three colors of lights being mixed together. So I am not 100% sure if this mapping is completly precise.

But updating them whenever someone notices a slight error, is the best way to get all of them to be correct one day.

Hmm.. even WikiPedia uses the wrong colors...

Another flag:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Azerbaijan

states the colors are:

#00b5e2 , #ef3340 , #509e2f

but the colors used in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Azerbaijan#/media/File:Flag_of_Azerbaijan.svg

#00BBE5, #EE2536, #3D9D32

again a minor difference

I say close the issue and forget about this

Did some further checking, different sources say different colors

Looks like the source for all flags in this repo match the ones from SchemeColor.com

second vote for closing my issue

I'm happy to accept the color changes if they are from Wikipedia.. we had a bunch of these kind of discoveries :)

The pantone website shows the same colors as you mentioned and bulgarian wikipedia also shows it (https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9D%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BD%D0%BE_%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B5_%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%91%D1%8A%D0%BB%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F)

So it seems they are the most correct.
