The Gold color tone used for the lictor bundle (fascio littorio) in this flag is the same as used in Mussolinis personal flag, whose gold colour was defined by the Fascist Italian state (See Ministro dell’Aeronautica, Ufficio di Stato Maggiore (1939): Regolamento sulle Bandiere, le insegne, gli onori, le visite e le precedenze, le riviste e le parate. Rome: Istituto Poligrafico dello Stato, p. 32, Allegato No 2). In reality, however, the Gold color tone was used in many variants, brighter and darker.
