Just as a note, it appears that government sites disagree on the colours of the flag, with https://www.jis.gov.jm/ja50/v2/jamaican-national-flag/ and https://jis.gov.jm/information/symbols/jamaica-national-flag/ stating slightly different Pantone colours and mixtures. Which would be considered the most up to date one? Currently this file and File:Naval Ensign of Jamaica.svg use different shades of gold and green.

- Unless the government publishes a formal decree or law regarding the colours, neither web site can be proved right or wrong. If and when a flag is specified with Pantone colours, the usual practice is to specify colour codes ending in letter C. The C means the ink needs to be printed on coated paper in order to match the colour of the Pantone swatch. In general, printing on coated paper uses less ink and provides a more vibrant appearance because less ink gets absorbed into the paper. MapGrid (talk) 04:35, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- I just emailed the JIS and confirmed that the second link is the official one. HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 01:25, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
