French President; Emmanuel Macron has changed the shade of blue on the country’s flag. The

Blue shade is now a darker navy shade, in contrast to what used to be cornflower blue.

It was decided to ‘reconnect’ with the flag used during the French Revolution.

The shade of blue that makes up the tricolor is now navy, the darker shade of blue being used earlier.

The change was ratified by the Elysee and last year it was changed to reconvene with the French flag of 1793 – the symbol of the French Revolution according to Europe.

The color of the blue that makes up the tricolor is now navy, which is darker than the blue used earlier. It corresponds to the French flag of 1793 when the first republic was formed.

The decision was the subject of much debate within Macron’s government, with news outlets reporting that some officials considered the new color ugly while Macron felt the darker color was more elegant.

The new flag is displayed in government buildings across the capital, including the Elysee Palace and the National Assembly.

While the decision was made by Macron, it is understood that his director of operations Arnaud Jollens, who was behind the move.

The flag was first used during the French Revolution in 1790 after the first French Republic was established in 1792.

The republic implemented a series of radical changes under the 1793 constitution, including political democracy, universal masculinity suffrage and a commitment to be the equal application of the law to all.

The tricolor, designed by Jacques-Louis David, was officially adopted as the national flag in 1794.

A lighter version of the flag was introduced in 1976 by President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing for use in government speeches on television.

According to Europe 1, this was so that the flag did not collide when displayed with the flag of the European Union and therefore a single shade of blue was adopted.

Blue and red are the traditional colors of Paris and were used by the militia during the French Revolution.

After the formation of the republic, white was added to nationalize the emblem.

The three colors are sometimes taken to represent the three elements of the revolutionary motto, Liberté (independence: blue), Egliette (similarity: white), Fraternity (fraternity: red).
