Is there any purple flags?

Purple is one of the least used colours in vexillology and heraldry. Currently, the colour appears in only three national flags: that of Dominica, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, and one co-official national flag, the Wiphala (co-official national flag of Bolivia).

Purple is one of the least used colours in vexillology and heraldry. Currently, the colour appears in only three national flags: that of Dominica, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, and one co-official national flag, the Wiphala (co-official national flag of Bolivia). However, it is also present in the flags of several administrative subdivisions around the world, as well as flags of political and ethnic groups and sexual minorities.

Background [ edit ]

In the past, purple dye was very expensive to produce, with the first compound used as one, Tyrian purple, being made from the mucus of a family of sea snail found only in the eastern Mediterranean and off Mogador Island near Morocco. To produce small amounts of it, it was required to obtain the mucus of thousands of snails, which was extremely labor-intensive. As such, it remained extremely expensive to use the dye, which resulted in it having almost no presence in flags and gaining the reputation as the colour of nobility and royalty, as they were the only groups able to readily afford it.[1] In Asia, the main dye used was Han purple, although it more closely resembles indigo. During Medieval Ages, in Europe, the colour was used in the standard of the Kingdom of León, during the reign of Alfonso VII,[2] and in the royal standard of the Kingdom of Castile.[3] Both states united in 1230, forming the Crown of Castile, which continued to use the combination of their flags until 1715.[3] In South America, during the Pre-Columbian era, the Wiphala, flags used by the subdivisions of the Inca Empire, contained purple colour.[4] In modern era, synthetic purple dyes became easier to obtain, and flags with purple colour began being used more commonly. In 1931, the Second Spanish Republic established a tricolour flag consisting of red, yellow and purple stripes as its national flag, seeing use in Spain until 1939 and by the Spanish Republican government in exile until 1977. The flag is still sometimes used by supporters of republicanism in Spain.[3] Currently, the colour appears in only three national flags: that of Dominica, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, and one co-official national flag, the Wiphala, (co-official national flag of Bolivia). However, it is present in the flags of several administrative subdivisions around the world.[1]

What does orange mean in surveying?

ORANGE – Communication, Cable TV, Alarm or Signal Lines, Cables or Conduit. BLUE – Water, Irrigation and Slurry Lines. GREEN – Sewers and Drain Lines. PINK – Temporary Survey Markings.

cedarburglightandwater.org - What do the colored flags in the ground mean?

At one time or another, you’ve probably noticed small flags of various colors placed in your yard or in the grass around town. Sometimes the grass is also marked with paint. What does this mean?

It means someone in the vicinity is planning to do some digging and they called Diggers' Hotline at 811 to mark the areas where utilities such as electricity, water, gas, phone or other lines are buried. If these lines are not marked and someone digs up a line, it could be detrimental. But what do all the different colors mean? The American Public Works Association has color-coded all utilities so it’s easy for those in the industry to immediately identify what utility is running where. Here’s a key to the flags’ colors:

RED – Electric Power Lines, Cables, Conduit and Lighting Cables

YELLOW – Gas, Oil, Steam Petroleum or Gaseous Materials

ORANGE – Communication, Cable TV, Alarm or Signal Lines, Cables or Conduit

BLUE – Water, Irrigation and Slurry Lines

GREEN – Sewers and Drain Lines

WHITE – Proposed Excavation

Remember to call Digger’s Hotline at (414) 259-1181 or dial 811 before you dig. Having underground facilities properly located could save your life!
