but that's the wrong shade of blue? It'd have been great if they took the colour from "The blue marble" instead of this Turbo Pascal blue.

What do you mean by "wrong"?

I reckon the actual color doesn't matter as long as it's blue-ish. There are no branding guidelines or anything. Even the size of the circle is unspecified, which IMO is a feature, not a bug. It's accessible :)

EDIT: I'm incorrect, there is a spec. Whelp! I still like my imagined more-flexible version of the flag.

		It is the 16-color VGA version of blue, not the version of blue you'd pick if you had a 24-bit color display. This website reminds me of the early 90s internet because of the specific shade of blue they picked.

Maybe they couldn't find American Flag Blue??? Or is that reserved for swimming pools now?
