Talk:List of Helmet and Shoulder Flashes and Hackles of South African Military Units

Colours
Colours of the various flashes is a very complicated subject. For example, when Curzon says something is "Maroon" what does he mean? Is it the Pantone Colour that we know today, or simply whatever the manufacturer of the flash thought it was? Are collector's flashes that are a hundred years old still the correct source for getting colour information? As I am creating these SVG flashes, I am doing my best. Anyone with more information/sources etc is welcome to download the svgs and correct the colour and reupload as a new version of the file. Please provide an explanation/reference for the colour change though. BoonDock (talk) 15:18, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
