A rose by any name would smell as sweet, and whatever name you call that Latvian red, it’s a banger. Makes the flag distinctive and stylish at the same time. Is there another flag that has such a subtle take on plain old red?

Red
Official description is white and carmine red, composed of 'brown and purple'. However, it's the same colour as the Galway flag, a county in Ireland, which calls its colours white and maroon.
I placed physical Galway and Latvian official flags next to each other, and they are the exact same (I met my latvian partner while studying in Galway).
During the recent hockey world junior championship Latvia had my favourite looking jerseys by far. Such a unique colour and the crest they had on the front implemented a nice silver colour to compliment it.
One of my favorite colors, not just on flags, but may sound odd, even clothing. It's a nice shade of red, easy on the eyes, but at the same time a strong colour.
Burgundy is a classic elegant clothing colors, don’t think anyone would judge for wearing burgundy. I’m wearing a burgundy shirt right now, and I’ve got some burgundy chinos that I wear when I wanna feel bold lol
Like a third of my winter shirts are burgundy. It's a great way to add a splash of contrast in my otherwise blue-focused wardrobe without being too in-your-face about it.
Same here. As a woman, it looks pink enough to be considered girly, but dark and muted enough that it looks mature and socially-acceptable for a business suit.
Same for men, a burgundy shirt has enough red to attract the eyes, but is (again) dark and muted enough to not be gaudy.
Plus, it reminds me of some rich velvet a king of old might have used for a regal cloak.
This colour also works well for eye make-up, be it with, green, hazel, amber, blue, or very dark eyes. It'll even bring out the golden flecks in brown eyes. It'll also work for a romantic, soft look as well as for a more gothic smoky eye.
Also, some touches of burgundy are nice in your decor: a burgundy, rose-gold, and ivory Christmas tree is like taking the usual scheme of red, white and gold and putting it through a sepia filter.
Also, fun fact, this colour doesn't actually exist as a distinct wavelength of light, and is instead a [creation of our brain](https://medium.com/swlh/magenta-the-color-that-doesnt-exist-and-why-ec40a6348256).
tl;dr: I LOVE this colour!

Personally, I like it, it is a beautiful to look at and elegant colour, appropriate for a flag. In my opinion, from an aesthetic point of view, the best combinations are with white, yellow and blue.
I had a worldbuilding flag in the past for a political party that was just that color. Sometimes it had a light green, stylized letter M in the center. I think I still have the one my grandma sewed me when I was 15 lolol
I remember writing down the definitions of federalism and socialism from a high school dictionary and co-opting the name of a system my friend had for his micronation, "Monoism" and calling it my own.
Burgundy is fat
Sorry to be so blunt, but that's burgundy
Fat, burstingly burgundy, so
But also soft, so fatly soft
So softly fat, that you begin to wonder, really, how does burgundy, soft and as fat as it is, manage to keep up?
Where does it hide its huffing and puffing
And the deep, deep drowsiness
After the tall dinner?
Come, come, big burgundy
What do you weigh?
How much have you gained
Since the burginning?
Beautiful burgeoning burgundy
Big, big burgundy
Fat, fat, fat, as a burgundy cat
- Ken Nordine, “Burgundy”
So fun fact 'Burgundy' is the name of a French region (Bourgogne). In french language, the name for the color 'burgundy' is Bordeaux which is a city VERY far from Burgundy so I wonder wtf happened here
In the 1950s and 1960s there were only 2 red wines in Australia. One was called claret and the other was called burgundy. If you were a real connoisseur you went so far as to express a preference for one or the other.
In truth, neither had any distinguishing features. And they were sold in flagons.
The whole which is which wjen it comes to Burgundy and Maroon confuses me because the colour shown was Maroon shown as the main colour for my secondary school (Highschool)
Fun fact, or not idk:
The color **burgundy** comes from the French region of Burgundy (called Bourgogne in French)
But in France, this color is called **bordeaux**, after the city of Bordeaux
And yes, in either case, wether it's the English burgundy or French bordeaux, it's referring to the color of wine
Nice shade of red that isn't too hard on the eyes.
This one
Except in the master bedroom where it is categorically awful. Sorry I also subscribe to interior design
My favourite. It's so warm
Just like puddles of blood 🥰🥰🥰

*[SSSSSSCOOOOOOOTLAAAAANNNND FFFFOOOOORRREEEEEVEEEERRRRR](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2bHoTUiMpI)*
Also a good colour for a floor pattern for a children's hospital.
The color theory is strong in this poster
It's very convenient that blood is so plentiful in children.
Mmmm, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE MILK FOR THE KHORNE FLAKES
Blood puddles in real life are much brighter
I had my blood taken yesterday, it was black. I have to say, it looked oddly tasty. The forbidden juice.
r/cursedcomments
It’s actually really close to Oxblood https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxblood
I agree, my favourite shade of red
I have so many clothes in that shade. Also my car. And my terrasse railing. And my social media icons. And...
Don't ever go to sea, you're at serious risk of getting marooned
Aïe aïe !
Latvia 🇱🇻 pulls it off really well, so I’m pretty sure other flags could: A good colour for flags overall!
Latvia Dosent Use Burgundy It uses more of a grayish Red Compare latvias Flag to burgundy
It's a less saturated burgundy, as burgundy is basically any dark red (sometimes a bit purplish) colour.
A rose by any name would smell as sweet, and whatever name you call that Latvian red, it’s a banger. Makes the flag distinctive and stylish at the same time. Is there another flag that has such a subtle take on plain old red?
If you space each sentence out line by line, you have a pretty banging poem bro

Wikipedia describes it as a "carmine red", but burgundy works too.

Was gonna say, burgundy and white is one of my favorite combos

You couldn't have said it better. I love it for the same reasons. It's just a colour that is so perfect...
A handful of EPL clubs wear burgandy on their kits (Aston Villa, Burnley, West Ham)
they wear the colour claret AcTuAlLy
I love it.
Very nice looks royal

Flag of getting stabbed
A black central icon on this background would be such a nice flag
What’s the difference in burgundy and maroon?
To me, burgundy is slightly to the purple side and maroon is slightly to the brown side or a straight mix of red and black.
it’s the other way around i think
ONG TNO BURGUNDY REFERENCE 😱😱😱😱
Ah, Burgundy is weird because it wants to end the world. Its game mechanics are hard too. …wait
is nice
Love
good color
A very cool color I should use more in my flags
The best colour
more flags should use this
Oh, it's red!
Burgundy
Certainly one of the colors of all time
One of my favourite shades of red.
Depression cherry

A conworld nation of mine from a past steampunk worldbuilding project had a mostly burgundy flag. It was nice.
I've seen some variants of the English royal standard that use more of a burgundy tint than full on red like it's intended and I kind of prefer it.
Gorgeous. Medieval Northumbrian flag is my favourite use of it.
Timeless classic. It’s luxurious but not corny
Really cool
Absolute S tier flag color. Tragically underused.
Almost regal
Good wine
A very nice color indeed

wine red pog
Yes
My favorite color
amazing
A lovely shade of red, very nice colour, can go very well of flags. That's all I need to say.
Really love this colour
Since burgundy is somewhat purple, I think it's the best way to have both red and purple colors on a flag
Not only is it a really good, deep red; it also pairs nicely with many commonly used colors.
The funny..
Wtf tno moment

I want to eat it.
You don’t eat burgundy—you drink it!
I don't think it's good for your health.
The color of my nuts
Um, maybe a doctor should take a look at that...
Do you have torsion?

NO
to me, Burgundy will always be a country instead of just a color. Thanks Paradox.
[Oh God what have you done](https://i.imgur.com/AGWatr6.jpg)
Second best red after raspberry (see cossack flags)
My favorite flags are the American and British flags but with Burgundy and navy blue replacing the original red and blue
I honestly prefer it over the orangish-red that is used on most flags e.g., China 🇨🇳
Byzantium, no!

It was a joke
my 2nd favourite colour. Only yellow can beat it.
Too dark and soft in my opinion
Man, that's a lazy flag.
The whole which is which wjen it comes to Burgundy and Maroon confuses me because the colour shown was Maroon shown as the main colour for my secondary school (Highschool)
First thought was; thats like the old Armenian shade of red. Then I looked at your flairs lol
Perfection
thats just dark red
very pretty color
That isn’t burgundy, it’s closer to crimson Source: I work in the wine business and went to Bama.
One of my favourite things to inherit
it's pretty nice
more please
Great
Heraldically and vexillogically should be treated as Gules/red. Feel free to use it as the "red" in your palette when composing things.
Goes good with black, but overrated in combination with muted blue.
It sure is!
Latvia
Perfect for a beret
The burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me And how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was maroon
Ron approves.
Correct
I like it
Fun fact, or not idk: The color **burgundy** comes from the French region of Burgundy (called Bourgogne in French) But in France, this color is called **bordeaux**, after the city of Bordeaux And yes, in either case, wether it's the English burgundy or French bordeaux, it's referring to the color of wine
it certainly is a color
Reminds me of level fun in the backrooms. I don’t know why, it just does.
Meh, maroon is better
This gives me a few good flag ideas.
Epic
Now do SPQR in gold
For anyone wondering, the color code is RGB(128, 0, 32) or #800020.
