The examples that I recently saw in Toledo of the Castile-La Mancha flag were in the usual Spanish proportions of 2:3 and had the same vermillion shade of red as the flag of Madrid city.
Vincent Morley, 9 October 1999
The local flags of Toledo that I saw (see these somewhat dark photos) were very purplish (reddish purple, or perhaps violet) (...). The flags of Castile-La Mancha had this same purplish color. (...) I understand that the law regarding the flag describes the color as rojo carmesí (crimson red, quoted from the S.E.V. website), I am just reporting what I saw. Is this an error, or a local practice in Toledo, or the proper color? It seems to me to be close to the heraldic purpure.
