FLAG COLOR CHANGE
BEING CONSIDERED
Brighter Blue and Deeper Red Fa
vored by Fine Arts
Commission.

Changes in the shades used in the
red and blue colors Of the American
flag to bring out more clearly the
depth of the colors is. under consider
alton by the National Commission Of
Fine Arts.
Considerable thought has been given
by Chairman Moore of the commits
sion and other members to recent
departures from the deep colors orig
inally specified for use in the flag.
Members believe that quantity pro-
-duction of cheap miniature flags TO
sell ut Il low price has cheapened the
quality of the dye used in the reds
and blues. anu that a reversion to the
original deep red and the lighter
shade of blue used originally is
needed.
Mr.. Moore explains that the blue
used in flags today is too deep in
shade and might easily be mistaken
for black in certain lights. The red
used in the stripes is not deep
enough. verging IN some cases on
pink. while the white used as a back
