Is the tone of the Mauritanian flag really dark green? It seems the image of the waving Mauritanian flag says otherwise. The source on the flags of the world says that the flag was "emerald green". In relation to this, there has been an edit war on which Itatch keeps on uploading the Mauritanian flag with a lighter green but keeps being reverted by Squidville1 and Fry1989.-- Hariboneagle927 ( talk) 16:09, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
Is there a reason/basis for this?-- Kintetsubuffalo ( talk) 13:27, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

I am surprised at the date given for adoption of the flag after the referendum. The provisional results were published on 6 August, but I haven't seen anything to confirm that the changes came into force that soon. To the contrary, [1] reports that they come into effect on the publication of the presidential decree, which had not yet happened on 8 August. [2] says that people are able to lodge appeals until 20 August, so the official change in flag may be some time off. Obviously it doesn't necessarily reflect the offical situation, but there are also photos online of a ministers at events with the old flag this week. JPD ( talk) 04:09, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
Here's the new flag in use 1. Let's have one close to it on the page. -- Aréat ( talk) 10:30, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
@ Aréat, you cited the "photo above" (which i assume to refer to File:Photo_Flag_Mauritania.JPG), but I believe File:Flag_of_Mauritania_(1959–2017).svg to be more accurate to this photo than File:Flag_of_Mauritania_1960-2017.svg, and I overlayed them both onto the photo using the star as a central point, see [8]. While both have some differences to this photo, the propotions of the latter's crescent are nowhere near the crescent in the photo, in my opinion. If you were referring to a different photo, please tell me which one. Thespündragon 23:43, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
Comment In a brief discussion I had with the user that created the current file for the Flag of Mauritania, they noted "the document colors and the stated codes do not match at all" with regard to the light pantone colors on the new design. I agree with the editors here that believe we should be using the dark green version as the primary version for all intents and purposes for the time being. I will, however, note that it appears both designs have been used in practice, so if and when the government of Mauritania offers some much-needed clarification, we'll use the version their government specifies.

The file will be editable in a few days, so let's agree beforehand. Who is in favor of having the dark green with non flattened crescent version as the main flag on the page, and the light green flattened one mentioned in the article - basically the reverse of the current situation -, and who is against the change, keep the status quo? Let's have a vote.
