current	17:24, 25 November 2018	1,200 × 600 (3 KB)	Veverve	Reverted to version as of 16:04, 25 April 2013 (UTC) I cannot find any footage or historic flag with the blue circle around the logo. Morover, the orange colour is probably due to the passage of time and it would be logical for the BUF to use the same colours as the flag of the UK (red, white, blue).

	23:52, 26 July 2018	1,200 × 600 (6.33 MB)	TenaciousFox	Determining the exact colours is extremely difficult owing to few colour photographs and the fading of dyes, but this seems to be as close as I can get to the original.
	20:22, 16 July 2018	1,200 × 600 (963 KB)	TenaciousFox	Analysis of surviving flags and rare colour film footage from demonstrations reveals that the exact colours were far lighter than the exact pantone of the Union Jack, and also that the majority of flags had a narrow blue ring around the white circle. The fact that most photographs are black and white seems to have obscured this.
