Colors in flags
This may not be every flag representing the nations in our world but do you notice any color that is missing?
I’ll save you the trouble. Purple !
Historically purple was very expensive to create, only the highest class could do so, and since flags needed to be replicated many times over a country wouldn’t bother using the color purple, even if they wanted to.
The Holy Roman Empire which had immense wealth in the world, only had their top aristocrats designed their own flags and or municipal flags don the color purple.
(They even have their own color labeled to this day)
Could they do it now? Of course but tradition comes into place and people just don’t bother with what they got nowadays
