The only one that seemed to give me a hard time, of the ones I actually knew was Turkey's. I knew it was an African Mediterranean country, because several of those are very similar, but it took a while to get Turkey.

Huh. Changing them purple did not make them any harder to get for me. Should I ever go color blind, I now know that I would still be able to identify flags. Good to know.

Just thinking, in order to make it harder, you could add some like netherlands and luxembourg, whose only difference is a slight change in the blue. Or the african red-yellow-green ones, which are very similar. Otherwise it's not too hard to get them, good idea though.

also I don't understand why it accepts Bosnia and you don't have to type and Hercegovina?? (it'd be good to have it accept just BiH)

@ArtieArmstrong I'd prefrer if it was just BiH (same type as UK and USA). If it accepts Bosnia it could also accept Trinidad, Timor or Korea...

I wouldn't have gotten the ones I missed correct even if they were the proper color.

Why do you differentiate the yellow from red in Grenada's flag but not in Timor Leste's flag? Unless my browser seems to hide just the yellow chevron in that flag?

@CaptainEasychord: More like Greece-centric. The Timorese flag is on the edge of the grid.

@tescohorseburger Why should it accept only one letter?? You also forgot to capitalize the i.

So this is what the flags of the world would look like if Prince ruled everything.

I agree with megascarp. The yellow chevron in the Timor Leste flag is barely visible. It shouldn't be THAT tricky to get it, right? Otherwise, great quiz. I love stuff like this where a different perspective challenges what I think I know.

don't know why i got voted down because i said the same thing as posters below me, but apparently some colors don't show up if your computer isnt set to the ideal contrast ratio. kinda annoying

Ah, the old Purple, Purple and Purple... I presume all this countries are ruled by Prince. Not *a* prince - Prince.

Weird, I got the same amount right when they were purple as I would if the flags were in their regular colours.
