Using Pantone's own color finder, the RGB approximations are  #00b9e4 ,  #ed2939  and  #3f9c35 , significantly brighter than the currently used colors ( #0098c3 ,  #e00034  and  #00ae65 ). The new code would be the following (I made some more changes, like overlapping the rectangles to avoid seams and changing CSS to attributes):

2. Azərbaycan Respublikasının Dövlət bayrağı eni bərabər olan rəngli üç üfqi zolaqdan ibarət düzbucaqlı parça şəklindədir: üst zolaq mavi rəngdə, orta zolaq qırmızı rəngdə, aşağı zolaq yaşıl rəngdədir. Bayrağın hər iki üzündə qırmızı zolağın ortasında ağ rəngli aypara və səkkizguşəli ulduz təsviri vardır. Bayrağın eninin uzununa nisbəti 1:2-dir.

Ayparanın və səkkizguşəli ulduzun təsvirləri tərəflərinin nisbəti 3:4 olan düzbucaqlının içərisində yerləşir; düzbucaqlının diaqonalı bayrağın eninin 1/2-nə bərabərdir. Ayparanın təsviri konsentrik (eyni mərkəzli) olmayan iki dairənin hissələri şəklindədir; böyük dairənin diametri xarici düzbucaqlının eninə, kiçik dairənin diametri isə bayrağın eninin 1/4-ə bərabərdir. Kiçik dairənin mərkəzi bayrağın həndəsi mərkəzindən sol tərəfdə, bayrağın eninin 1/60-nə bərabər olan məsafədə yerləşir.

Səkkizguşəli ulduzun təsviri ayparadan sağda yerləşir, ulduzun xarici dairəsinin diametri bayrağın eninin 1/6-ni, daxili dairəsinin diametri isə 1/12-ni təşkil edir.

2. The flag of the Republic of Azerbaijan, which is equal to the width of three horizontal stripes of color in the form of a rectangular piece: blue strip at the top, middle stripe is red, the lower is green. Red stripe on both sides of the flag white crescent and eight-pointed star in the middle there. The ratio of the length of the flag is 1:2.

Images of the crescent and eight-pointed star of the parties ratio of 3:4, which is located inside the rectangle; flag diagonal width of the rectangle 1/2 equal. Crescent description of the concentric (the center) is not in the form of two parts of the apartment; the outer diameter of the largest circle, rectangle the width, the width of the flag is a small circle with a diameter of 1/4 equal. Small geometric center of the center of the circle on the left side of the flag, the flag of the width of 1/60, which is equal to the distance.

The eight-pointed star on the right is a description of the crescent, star flag, the width of the outer circle with a diameter of 1/6-ni, the inner circle diameter of 1/12th of.

This is what I interpret my own Google translation (which is textually slightly different for some reason) as:
  • Outer circle of crescent has diameter equal to stripe width, and is 1/60 flag width left of center
  • Inner circle of crescent has diameter 1/4 of flag height (i.e. 3/4 of stripe height) and is exactly centred
  • Star has outer diameter 1/6 flag height (= half of stripe width) and inner diameter 1/12 flag height; its exact horizontal position is not given.
Maybe someone who speaks Azerbaijani would be able to give a better translation/interpretation, as Google's is far from clear.
Unrelatedly, is there really any advantage in using the ‎<polygon> element (or, similarly, ‎<polyline> or ‎<line>) instead of ‎<path>? SiBr4 (talk) 18:58, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Rereading it, the "3:4" ratio may refer to the bounding box of the crescent and star together, implicitly giving the star position (consistent with your SVG code). Still unsure where you get the 90 radius from, or what the "diagonal" ("diaqonalı") part in the flag description refers to. SiBr4 (talk) 19:20, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK, the length of the 3:4 rectangle is equal to half the flag height (using the 3:4:5 Pythagorean triangle). The diameter of the outer circle of the crescent is equal to the width of that rectangle. Deciphered now.
It still seems to be the case that the inner circle of the crescent, and not the 3:4 rectangle, is in the center of the flag, however. If that's true, there is hardly any visible difference in the flag construction compared with the current version. With your code, the crescent and star would be moved 10px to the left. I've updated my SVG code above using the centred inner circle. SiBr4 (talk) 20:26, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of Azerbaijan colors (again)[edit]

(moved from User talk:Jarekt) Hi, based on this chart and pantone.com, the rgb colors of the current version are not correct. And since it's for web use would you correct them please. Best regards.

Color model Bright Blue Red Green
RAL 5012 3018 6018
Pantone 306 C Red 032 C 362 C
RGB 0, 181, 226 (#00b5e2) 239, 51, 64 (#ef3340) 80, 158, 47 (#509e2f)

@ALE!, Alex Great, Zscout370, Permjak, Hedwig in Washington, SiBr4, and Kamran.nef: The colors of this flag have been discussed for last 15 years. user:Kamran.nef proposed to change them again. I do not know anything about how to look up correct colors, but can assist in changing protected file if there is consensus for change. --Jarekt (talk) 15:01, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Why you ping me? ← Alex Great talkrus? 02:25, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind. I can be wrong. Kamran.nef (talk) 06:45, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jarekt: I'm not wrong, look at these RGB values. Please edit them or let me edit it. Kamran.nef (talk) 16:53, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Jarekt: Also, Permjak was right in 2015 (see discussions above), the code should be
<circle cx="570" cy="300" r="90" fill="#fff"/>
<circle cx="590" cy="300" r="75" fill="#ef3340"/>
<path d="M670 250l9.567 26.903 25.788-12.258-12.258 25.788L720 300l-26.903 9.567 12.258 25.788-25.788-12.258L670 350l-9.567-26.903-25.788 12.258 12.258-25.788L620 300l26.903-9.567-12.258-25.788 25.788 12.258z" fill="#fff"/>

It is because the description says "The center of the small circle is to the left of the geometric center of the flag, at a distance equal to 1/60 of the width of the flag."--Mike Rohsopht (talk) 10:35, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike Rohsopht and Kamran.nef: I looked at https://president.az/azerbaijan/symbols and they have big flag there which seem to be identical to svg code of this file's svg code. However the table of colors listed lower on the page do match table Kamran.nef provided. I combined color change request and re-centering request to get: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="1200" height="600">

Which I uploaded. Comparing it visually with the current image it is very hard to see the difference. --Jarekt (talk) 12:43, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Constitutional Law No. 1331-VKQ[edit]

It seems that the 1991 description of the flag has been repealed. The currently law is the Constitutional Law No. 1331-VKQ, which gives different dimension of the star and crescent.

A:Flag width 1A
B: Flag length 2A
A1: Width of the blue stripe of the flag 1/3 A
A2: Width of the red stripe of the flag 1/3 A
A3: Width of the green stripe of the flag 1/3 A
C: Distance from the left edge of the flag to the center of the inner circle of the crescent 0.5B
D: Diameter of the outer circle of the crescent 0.286A
D1: Diameter of the inner circle of the crescent 0.220A
D2: Diameter of the outer circle of the star 0.166A
D3 :Diameter of the inner circle of the star 0.078A
F: Distance between the centers of the inner and outer circle of the crescent 0.035A
G: Distance between the center of the circle of the star and the center of the outer circle of the crescent 0.140A

However, it looks a bit strange.[1]

The code I used: 

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="1200" height="600">

@Mike Rohsopht: hi again. As an azeri, i confirm the translation is correct. I tried the flag for myself (raster file, on PS, but it worked), and it looked exactly the same with yours. I think it all boils down to the bulkiness of the star. Here are the official dimensions for the 1991 version. [2]. I think the outer circle of the star (0.166A) should be 0.156A (0.78x2, right?), because the original flag had this dimension (1/6 and 1/12) for decades. Can this be a typo? Would you please give it a try to that figure as well? Toghrul R (talk) 18:44, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Toghrul R: Unfortunately, the horns are still inside the star.[3]--Mike Rohsopht (talk) 18:23, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Mike Rohsopht: hello. What about changing changing G? (center of the inner circle of the crescent). I know, it's wrong to do this way, as it contradicts with the law, but it would be interesting to see if it makes any sense this way. Toghrul R (talk) 06:11, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Toghrul R: I have made a web page for generating the image of the flag with different parameters. You may try it yourself.[4]--Mike Rohsopht (talk) 16:51, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Mike Rohsopht: great app, thank you for it. I have an idea regarding to this. Would it be reasonable to ignore the table altogether? What i mean is, reworking the map on the provided illustration would be enough for this case. I know, the precision will suffer in the end, but considering the Azerbaijani law is full of mistakes (both in Azerbaijani grammar and relevance), it might be okay to do it that way and call it a day. Anyway, basing the flag on aforementioned scheme looks okay. Toghrul R (talk) 09:38, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Toghrul R: It seems that almost no one is interest on this topic, almost no where on the internet is aware of the 2018 changes, even the article in az Wikipedia. Even the government website cannot display a correct version of its national flag. So I will just leave it alone. Maybe you can tell the government to review the law.--Mike Rohsopht (talk) 14:25, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Colors code is wrong on bottom of File:Flag_of_Azerbaijan.svg[edit]

Colors code is wrong on bottom of File:Flag_of_Azerbaijan.svg (Legend): 

 #00b9e4 - wrong
 #ed2939 - wrong
 #3f9c35 -  wrong

This is real color codes:

  1. 00be52
  2. ef3340
  3. 509e2f

Edit: I mention the colors described below on the (File:Flag_of_Azerbaijan.svg).Flag page I know the color codes in the file are correct. Just below the flag file is the color description section, where the color code names are misspelled in the color information. I just mean it. It would be nice if you could fix it. Thank you for writing.

Update request (23 September 2023)[edit]

The shade of blue on the flag was changed in 2013 but reverted in 2019. In other words, the file should be reverted to the 13:31, 6 March 2012 version. See the discussion on the English Wikipedia. Yue🌙 19:25, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
