[edit] Ugly image

This image is totally ugly. The shade of green is wrong. Can anybody create a better version?--Sonjaaa 05:45, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Is this better at all? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a1/800px-Flag_of_Mars_copy.png The red's too pinkish, probably. I wasn't able to find any pictures of the actual flag itself. Moncubus 18:39, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Here is a page with pictures of the actual flag itself: http://www.marssociety.org/arctic/2004/fmimg072904.asp . The colours can be a bit more bright. And the Ukrainian Wikipedia has also a uploaded photo of a flag. Peter Maas 11:17, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Primary Colors

"...provided the concept for the flag, which, coincidentally, also represents the three primary colors of light." - Where did this statement come from? Green is not a primary color, it's a mix of yellow and blue. Yellow is the primary color. Could someone please change this?

I agree that this statement is absolutely wrong. Green is a secondary color comprised of blue and yellow. The wikipedia article on primary colors even states, "Traditionally, the colors red, yellow, and blue are considered to be primary pigments in the art world. However, this is not technically true, or is at least inaccurate. The three primary colors of pigment are magenta, yellow, and cyan." In either case, the article needs to be changed.

Primary pigment isn't the same thing as primary color in light. The primary colors of light are indeed red, blue, and green. Read on in the primary colors article until you get to the difference between additive and subtractive primaries. --Cairnarvon 06:50, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
