Taken from acquisition worksheet: "The result of the Canadian flag debate was the introduction of the now common Maple Leaf design as the replacement for the Union Jack. At the time of its adoption the colours of the flag were as they appear today but there was no standard for the national flag of Canada. We had a good design – with the distinctive red bars and maple leaf – but no way of ensuring that the same “Canadian red” would appear on each new flag produced. Worse still, there was no way of preventing this red from fading embarrassingly into an ugly orange or brown – often after only a few hours exposed to the weather outside. In 1965, only a few months after the new maple leaf icon was unveiled, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson commissioned the National Research Council to find a way to standardize the flag’s distinctive red colour and make sure it didn’t fade so quickly. Dr. GunterWyszecki, of the National Research Council and his Laboratory working in colour metrology was tasked with setting the quantifiable parameters for the red colour in the Canadian flag as well as working with dye manufacturers to ensure a non-fading reproducible colour that would remain consistent with each batch."
Function
Used as a colour sample in establishing the limits of the colour red in the Canadian Maple Leaf Flag.
Technical
Taken from acquisition worksheet: "A number of red dyes were used to set the limits for the red colour of the modern Canadian flag. Once the standard was determined by the National Research Council it was set in the Department of National Defence’s “Canadian Government Specification for the National Flag of Canada” (1965) standard."
