Color edit

It's rather  screaming blue.  I would suggest the more subtle  #0038b8.  as taken off the Israeli flag. Of course one may say that the Star of David "color" doesn't come from the colors of the Israeli flag, but I would argue that the "color" of the Star of David doesn't come from #0000FF either. One might also argue that historically people may have talked about "blue" when it came to the star and the flag. However, this was before the modern RGB 0000FF was common knowledge (or even invented yet) so suggesting the star must be 0000FF because someone in history said "blue" is not an entirely valid argument in my opinion. All in all it seems we have a choice. And the better choice, in my view, is the subtler blue of the flag. I would do it myself, but.... – JBarta (talk) 19:03, 12 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Use of this geometric figure predates the Israeli flag by centuries and wasn't associated with Judaism in ancient times. The choice of color is arbitrary. — Quicksilver@ 21:38, 17 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
