What are the colors in the gay flag
To avoid any potential confusion and surprises, the RGB color values have therefore been expressed in the full 24-bit form. For example, people intending to write “#a000c0” may consider “#a0c” to be a “more efficient” representation, but the two are very different: in the former, “#a000c0” represents RGB intensities of, which is close to what one may be intuitively thinking (), whereas the latter is actually converted during rendering to “#aa00cc,” which corresponds to, which is quite different. The current image (version as of 10:03, 3 April 2007) expresses the RGB values in the 3×8-bit form “#rrggbb” rather than the 3×4-bit form “#rgb” because of occasional confusion regarding the relationship between the two.

I think the only color set that could be considered definitive would be for someone to go to measure the original flag (if it still exists) or perhaps the Gilbert Baker-approved flag at MoMA (which is not the original). And if all that wasn't enough, doing these calculations is certainly original research. Beyond that, the colors have varied greatly in flags that have been made.
It is a sure thing that none of those photographs are even close to accurate representations of the flags that were photographed. Witness the photo at which shows two presumably identical flags side-by-side which look significantly different. So many variables such as thickness of the fabric, direction of the light, cloud coverage, humidity, ASA used, type of camera, etc. Muhandis 11:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC) 2018 Īveraging between colors in photographs of street scenes is a downright awful way of doing this. It should be noted that the original eight-striped pride flag dyed by Gilbert Baker likely used a hue of violet that tended chromatically toward lavender more than does the violet used in the current image (version as of 10:03, 3 April 2007).
