Came across this info on 5-25-08 at http://www.fotw.us/flags/us.html#shade "The official regulation, which I just tracked down at the Defense Technology Information Center website http://www.dtic.mil is General Services Administration 'Federal Specification, Flag, National, United States of America and Flag, Union Jack,' DDD-F-416E, dated November 27, 1981. It specifies the colors by reference to 'Standard Color Cards of America' maintained by the Color Association of the United States, Inc. These are:
Cable No. 70180 Old Glory Red
Cable No. 70001 White
Cable No. 70075 Old Glory Blue
Joe McMillan, 25 January 2000 Old Glory Red (PMS 193C), White, and Old Glory Blue (PMS 281C) " In the color swatch pallets of InDesign I did the numeric conversions, but when I look at the Old Glory Blue on the screen it still has that purplish look that comes with converting blue into 4c. Don't know yet how that will convert to a web press. For those who wish to tinker with it, here are the numbers: Old Glory Red {PMS 193C} = C 0, M 100, Y 66, K 13 Old Glory Blue {PMS 281C} = C 100, M 72, Y 0, K 32

There is no true meaning to the blue on the American flag. Betsy Ross added the blue to make the stars brighter. The original flag was read and had red stars.
