A job well done, it looks way more modern.
Didn't France do this a couple years back?
It was informally changed to a more eu flag like blue in like 1974 but it was reverted in 2020
France doesn’t have an official specific color for the blue and the navy has traditionally used a darker blue which the current administration started using.
Italy and Honduras did it too, but i think Italy changed it back.
The reason why: a principle committed suicide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_on_National_Flag_and_Anthem?wprov=sfti1
More like standardized.
they put it in the washing machine
Aided by the stain-fighting power of OXY CLEAN! (snorts massive line of coke)
