Looking into camouflage colours, camouflage works most often in one of two ways. Camouflage clothes often make someone harder to see, thereby concealing their identity. Sometimes, though, camouflage might include specific colors and patterns meant to make someone harder to see by disguising them to look like something else. The word “camouflage" actually comes from a French slang word meaning “to disguise."
The flag combines aspects of three older national flags: the red cross of St George of the Kingdom of England, the white saltire of St Andrew for Scotland (which two were united in the first Union Flag), and the red saltire of St Patrick to represent Ireland.
The three colours I am considering using are green, red and blue therefore I looked into colour meanings to see which was most suitable.
Colour representations
Blue Security, trustworthy, stability, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, trust, friendliness, preservation, courage, science.
Green Wealth, money, calming, trees, ambition, endurance, healing, calm, generosity, natural, completion and protection.
Red Energy, power, vigour, leadership, courage, passion, activity, joy.
Orange Cheerful, passion, pleasure, enthusiasm, fascination, creativity, fun.
I find the most suitable to be either blue or green as I find red too bright and fierce. It would also have been the colour of the blood lost during the war which would be too insensitive to use therefore I won't be using this. Blue and green on the other hand are much more calming and represent things such as courage, trust, friendliness, ambition, healing and protection which I think all relate nicely to the war. Another colour to represent gold would be victory, associated with things such as gold medals won by winners in the olympics.
When trying the colours I preferred the blue as I think it relates nicely to the union jack, however I want to try find a colour between the blue and the green to combine the two as I think they both relate nicely to my event. The green relates to camouflage and protection whereas the blue relates to the union jack flag and courage.
The colour I have decided on is this, I think it is calming as well as being celebratory.
