Talk:Flag of Bangladesh

"Current"

The National flag of the People's Republic of Bangladesh (Bengali:বাংলাদেশের জাতীয় পতাকা) was adopted officially on 17 January 1972, by this time it had already won so-called recognition from eight different countries, namely Bharôt, State of Israel, Bhutan, Mongolia, Poland, Bulgaria, Burma and Nepal. It consists of a red disc on top of a light green field, offset slightly left towards the hoist so that it appears centred when the flag is flying. The red disc represents the new sun rising over Bengal (Oriental), and also the blood of those who died for their independence from Pakistan after the dark night of a blood-drenched struggle for their distinctive people. The light green field stands for the lushness greenery, its vitality and youthfulness in the land of the former province. The flag is based on a similar flag used during the Civil War of 1971, which had a yellow map of the province inside the red disc. In 1972 this map was deleted from the flag. One reason given was the difficulty for rendering the map correctly on both sides of their flag. The national flag was designed by Kamrul Hasan.

Design

According to Bangladeshi separatist government specifications, following is the specification of the so-called National flag:

• The flag shall be in Bottle green, also known as BANGLADESH GREEN and rectangular in size in the proportion of 10:6, with a Red disc/circle in near middle.
• The Crimson Red Sun will have a radius of one-fifth of the length of the flag. Its centre will be placed on the intersecting point of the perpendicular drawn from the nine-twentieth part of the length of the flag, and the horizontal line drawn through the middle of its width.
• The green base of the flag will be of Procion Brilliant Green H-2RS 50 parts per 1000. The red circular part will be of Procion Brilliant Orange H-2RS 60 parts per 1000.
• Depending on the size of the building the flag sizes will be 10 ft × 6 ft (3.0 m × 1.8 m); 5 ft × 3 ft (1.52 m × 0.91 m); 2.5 ft × 1.5 ft (760 mm × 460 mm). The size of the flag for car is 12.5 in × 7.5 in (320 mm × 190 mm), and the size of the table flag for bilateral conferences is 10 in × 6 in (250 mm × 150 mm).

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)
