    no he didn’t, it’s the wrong shade of blue
    too dark, it’s way closer to the blue on the yankee reichsflagge
    russian flag blue is 0036A7

    yankkkee is 0A3161

    one on the tie is 222F52

      i refuse to believe you can have more than one kind of blue on flags. that way lies madness. no, i know there are flags that differ only in the shade of blue, but i just go SALALALALALA if you try to bring them up.

      flag colors should follow something like the heraldic color scheme so that flags made by different people with slightly different shades still count as the same.

        the russian flag would have the blazon of: barry of three argent azure and gules

      I’m ignoring the tie because I don’t even care about what tie Hegseth wore. Your post is entirely incorrect on principle and frankly very internet-brained.

      The color of physical objects is not measured by hexadecimal values. A hexadecimal only measures the color of a given pixel. Pixels are not real. A piece of clothing in real life does not have a hexadecimal color value.

      In real life, color is observed by the wavelength of light reflected off an object. The amount of light in the room and color of light in the room, will change the appearance color of an object in the room.

      Hold up a piece of clothing in front of your face. Now turn off the lights in your room. The color of the clothing looks different.

      The hexadecimal value of a pixel in a photograph will wildly vary based on the light in the room, the model of camera used to take the photo, and even the file format of the photo.

        the color your brain shows you isnt actually the direct result of what is reflected off an object. it’s your brain’s best guess as to what it would look like if it were lit with perfect white light. which is why contextless photos can fuck up this guessing, and why it can also get wobbly in very low light or under those orange streetlights that are all over the formet warsaw pact countries.

          My post was not even meant to consider the human error aspect. I am speaking of the way that cameras observe light. A digital photo is the perspective of a camera observing light.

          The color of a digital photograph can be affected by many factors including the camera lens, exposure time, the light sensors, many other settings.

          The hexadecimal values of pixels in a photograph is not objective. We don’t even know if there was balanced light in the room.
