Controversy over the color of the National Flag
After the government of Xiomara Castro (2022-2026) established the color turquoise blue (Hexadecimal Code: #00bce4) as the color to be used in the National Flag of Honduras after previous governments used navy blue (Hexadecimal Code: #0d3b99), the government of Nasry Asfura (2026-2030) returns to the traditional navy blue color.
In recent years there has been a controversy over the correct color of the National Flag, and it is that Decree No. 7 article 1 reads as follows:
« The National Flag of Honduras will consist of three equal and horizontal stripes, the upper and the lower of TURQUOISE BLUE COLOR,the one in the center white and will have five outgoing stars of five angles of the same blue color in the middle …»

The width of the set of the three stripes must be contained twice in the length.
