Why are the flags made lighter than they are in reality? The Dutch flag now looks exactly like the Luxembourg flag.
That's because back at the time when I introduced the flags as the indicator of the language of a sentence, I felt that the real colors were too strong and needed to be lightened a little bit to fit more to the overall colors of the site.
But you're right, it leads to issues such as having a flag of a country looking like the one of another country.
But anyway if someday luxembourg language is added, its flag too, and it will look lighter than dutch flag :) (and the contrast between red and blue is kept as the red is also lighter)
