Exact Color?

The specification table interprets the Procion red color to be #da291c , but the SVG flag at the top of this page uses #f42a41 . So... is the interpretation wrong? Does the flag need correction?

(FWIW, Apple & Google also couldn't agree on the shade: https://emojipedia.org/flag-for-bangladesh/ )

Thank you, תרגומון Targumon, that is the question. In my humble opinion #F42A41 may be correct (slightly purple), and RGB (Hex) #DA291C (Pantone 485) may be the wrong red (too much orange in it). See here: "it's not red, rather somewhere between purple and pink (lilac?)" https://fotw.info/flags/bd.html --87.143.178.153 (talk) 03:24, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The RGB values used for the Pantone colours do not seem to be right. I have created this table describing the possible colours from the 2012 and 2024 Olympic guides. Pantone colours are converted to RGB per connect.pantone.com. Kaim Amin (talk) 23:48, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Colour Model	Green			Red
Colour Model	Current	2012 Olympic	2024 Olympic (Approximation)	Current	2012 Olympic	2024 Olympic (Approximation)
Pantone	342c	342 C	568 C (closest)	485	485 C	485 C (closest)
RGB	0, 106, 78	0, 103, 71	0, 108, 82	244,42,65	218, 41, 28	228, 45, 37
Hex	#006A4E	#006747	#006C55	#F42A41	#DA291C	#E42D25

I suggest adopting the 2012 Olympic colours as its values are more certain than the others. -- Kaim Amin (talk) 23:48, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support: Sounds reasonable to me, and it will actually increase the contrast a little, which is MOS:COLORS accessibility boon. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 01:37, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support - this seems reasonable and I'm surprised this hasn't been done already. Gommeh 🎮 19:49, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question The official specification of the flag's colors, cited in the article, is in terms of Procion dyes. Are we talking about the Olympics because no one knows what to do with the Procion values, and the 2012 Olympics guide conveniently describes the flag in terms of Pantone colors, which people do know how to work with? --Worldbruce (talk) 06:05, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Worldbruce, Yes. If the government doesn't specify the colors, the Olympics flag is the closest to an official as countries provide their own flags. Kaim (talk) 10:28, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support for 2012 Olympics colour. — Meghmollar2017 (U T C) — 05:22, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
