Morover, the orange colour is probably due to the passage of time and it would be logical for the BUF to use the same colours as the flag of the UK (red, white, blue).

20:22, 16 July 2018Thumbnail for version as of 20:22, 16 July 20181,200 × 600 (963 KB)TenaciousFoxAnalysis of surviving flags and rare colour film footage from demonstrations reveals that the exact colours were far lighter than the exact pantone of the Union Jack, and also that the majority of flags had a narrow blue ring around the white circle. The fact that most photographs are black and white seems to have obscured this.
