Hinomaru Red Color – #bc002d: Codes and Complete Breakdown

Japan’s 1999 flag law never defined the red of the hinomaru disc, saying only that it’s a deep shade. Flag references settle on #bc002d. The Defense Agency’s 1973 spec used Munsell 5R 4/12, and this deep crimson is the common screen stand-in.
