Is it me or are flags getting made with a lighter shade of blue these days?

Scotland's fading as a result of still being in the union.
Or maybe not.

The Pantone colours (186 for the red and 280 for blue) are the official ones for the Union Flag and all UK derivatives (Bartram 2004). They are quite dark, but then so are the Union Flags that follow the official specification. The red also has quite a large blue component and even has some black. The CMYK values are C0 M91 Y76 K6. The dark blue is C100 M72 Y0 K18.5

Do you mean a flag poll?

The Scottish Parliament’s education, culture and sport committee has set the optimum shade of blue for the flag as Pantone 300.
The other way round?
You bloody bugger! I knew this, I actually knew the Pantone for the blue in the union flag. But you beat me to it. Buggering bugger!
Don't care. Sulking.

Yes but the Scottish Parliament agreement was on the colour of the Saltire not the Union Flag.
I've tried playing with the contrast settings on my telly and no matter what I do I cannot detect any blue at all

Which is why I said "The other way round?" as it's the lighter shade of the two blues.
