Maroon & Carmine Flags
Dark red, carmine, and maroon tinctures provide a distinctive, solemn alternative to bright vermilion red, most famously codified on the national flag of Latvia.
Latvia legally specifies its national flag tincture as Pantone 201 C or 1807 C ('Latvian red'), a dark carmine shade chosen in 1917–1921 to distinguish it clearly from the brighter red of Austria.
