1worldflag: A blue dot on a transparent background

Transparency in a flag is new to me. It's surprisingly effective here. Could this be done with just cloth without synthetics by using thinner threads or thread count?
kelseyfrog•49m ago
The microplastics inherent in synthetics is the point.

The website mentions silk organza at https://1worldflag.com/flag/. That's where my mind went initially, some kind of sheer silk fabric. I don't know how durable it would be in the elements though.

Love the idea.

But the transparency :( It makes the whole flag low contrast, an undesirable quality in flags.

I don't like the color blue. Can we change it?
water-data-dude•46m ago
Humanity's working on it, lol

but that's the wrong shade of blue? It'd have been great if they took the colour from "The blue marble" instead of this Turbo Pascal blue.

Blue needs to be paler, and the dot smaller ;-)
