It's what annoys me when the objectors to unified colours throughout the
EU go on about the 'instinctive' old colours. There's no such thing.
I think those people mean that *our* colours were "instinctive". What

well are they?
Ive seen plenty of red earth in my time, and brown. Don't even have to
go further than Devon. Most earth is brown or black. Never seen any
green earth.
And as far as blue being a neutral colour. Not anywhere I've ever been.
Its usually the colour of some political faction or other.
