Texas flag colors

Texas wrote its flag colours into law in 2001 by pointing at somebody else: the statute says they are the same colours as the United States flag, defined as Pantone 193 for the red and 281 for the blue. The cable numbers behind them, 70180 and 70075, are dyed cloth samples rather than anything a screen can show.
