Naval flag

[Naval flag]by Zeljko Heimer

The flag is white with a light blue wavy (13 waves) cotised stripe in base. In hoist are placed a red crescent and star ,and in fly a light blue cabled anchor.
The proportion of the flag is 3:5.

It is used neither as ensign nor jack (which are similar to the national flag), but as a ceremonial flag only.

Colour specifications

The colour approximations given in Album des Pavillons [pay00] are:

  • Blue: Pantone Process blue c / CMYK (%) C 100 - M 10 - Y 0 - K 5
  • Red: Pantone 1795 c / CMYK (%) C 0 - M 90 - Y 100 - K 0
  • Green: Pantone 355 c / CMYK (%) C 100 - M 0 - Y 90 - K 5
  • Light blue: Pantone 549c / CMYK (%) C 50 - M 0 - Y 0 - K 20

The images shown above were made approximating those colours to the closest BS (browser-safe) colour. The two blue shades seem on the screen very similar, though yet clearly different, but the difference is much more observable in printing since the Process blue is more lively than in on-screen look.

A note on the crescent and star

Regarding the crescent and star, it seems that slightly different designs are used on different flags. Compared with the national flag, the flags shown above have a smaller star and a more "closed" crescent.
