YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable date format, as commanded by ISO 8601.

Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.

(This doesn't consider the separator) Cyan - DD/MM/YY Magenta - MM/DD/YY Yellow - YY/MM/DD The other ones are mixes of those two colors, so e.g. the US is MM/DD/YY and YY/MM/DD (apparently).

Also just noticed I didn't attribute this picture, I'll edit my comment.
