Title: National colour maybe?
Post by: Barclamïu da Miéletz on August 18, 2024, 05:43:35 PM
Found out that when the colours from the bicoloreu are mixed, they result in the colour shown below.

A good name in my opinion would be "Talossan brown".

Brown is... not the best national colour to have. What's wrong with using green and red concurrently like he have been up till now?

It's just a touch brighter than this, but as a Texan I see Longhorn Orange

I don't think any country has a single national colour.

Apparently New Zealand has and it's black. (Wait aren't you Kiwi?)

At least from this list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_colours#), the only nations I'm seeing with a single "primary" national color are Belgium (red), Ireland (green), Fiji, (light blue), and New Zealand (black), though the extent to which any of these are official isn't clear.

Given our nation is effectively a peninsula (counting our western river border) and an island, some shade of blue to evoke water could be appropriate if we had to have a single color.

I was considering some other colors associated with Milwaukee -- we could do cream (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream_(colour)) if we wanted to nod to Cream City brick (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cream_City_brick). While doing that, I also found that the official shade of Cardinal used by the University of Wisconsin (Madison, not Milwaukee) works pretty well on the Talossan flag. #C5050C, instead of the #FF0004 that we seem to use a lot. See attached.

Well at that point I'd lobby for the best shade of orange (https://www.rit.edu/athletics), but you do you :P
