[edit] Meaning of the colors
Yellow represent the skin color of Vietnamese people

- According to an article from here, the committee that designed the "red flag with yellow star" (including Mr Nguyen Huu Tien and Mr Le Quang So) stated that: - yellow is the national color of Vietnamese people ("màu vàng có ý nghĩa là màu dân tộc"); and: - red symbolizes revolution ("nền đỏ tượng trưng cho cách mạng"). Since that website is under censorship of the current Vietnam government, and it cites a current official in a government-sponsored conference, I believe that those information is not a fraud from anti-government sources. Thus these no implication of "red blood and yellow skin" as written in this article. Should we change that?Tryst Nguyen (talk) 01:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
The flags of the present Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the former Democratic Republic of Vietnam are the same, why do two image files exist on Wikimedia Commons, why are the colours different, and if the pantone>>RGBA were unofficially calculated by wiki editors, then perhaps we should delete one of the files? --70.21.18.134 18:57, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
From what I understand, only the second flag is correct with the colours. Vietnam's flag was never a "yellow and red" one, but a "gold and crimson" one. Le Anh-Huy (talk) 09:28, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
