About Flag Tone

Mission

Flag Tone is an independent flag color game and reference site built for people who want to study, compare, and use flag colors with more context than a simple image gallery provides.

The project started with a simple idea: many flag pages online either focus only on gameplay or only on bare downloads. Flag Tone combines both sides. Visitors can explore flags as a color-memory challenge, then continue into reference pages for palettes, symbolism notes, and downloadable assets.

Who runs Flag Tone

Flag Tone is maintained by the operator of flagtone.org as an independent editorial web project.

The site is not an official government publication, not a standards body, and not affiliated with the authorities that adopt or regulate national or regional flags. Its role is to organize public reference material into a format that is easier to browse, compare, and reuse for learning and design work.

How flag data is prepared

Flag pages are prepared from publicly available source materials such as official references when available, public records, commonly cited vexillology references, and source artwork files used to build downloadable assets.

Each page is then edited into a consistent structure so visitors can quickly find:

• the main flag colors and code values
• a short explanation of the design or symbolism
• basic construction details such as ratio or layout notes when they are reliably available
• downloadable file formats for practical use

Where a source is unclear, inconsistent, or less authoritative, the page copy is written conservatively rather than presenting uncertain claims as settled fact.

Editorial principles

Flag Tone aims to be useful, transparent, and careful about accuracy.

• Content is compiled from public materials and editorial review, not copied blindly from a single database.
• Flag details are cross-checked against multiple references when possible, especially for names, proportions, adoption notes, and color descriptions.
• Downloadable artwork is visually reviewed so that obvious rendering or labeling mistakes can be caught before publication.
• When official specifications are unavailable or disputed, the site treats the material as reference content rather than as certified legal or technical authority.
• The site currently supports English and French across its broader experience, although not every page is guaranteed to launch in every language at the same time.

If we discover an error or a source update that materially changes a page, we revise the page copy and supporting assets accordingly.
