The lettering colour is disputed. Rosanoski argued for blue rather than the FOTW rendering’s black, using the Maatschappij and Nüsse images; Martins-Tuválkin read them as purple and identified Kabel Ultrabold type. Rosanoski accepted the purple appearance but suggested reproduction effects, without proof. Nüsse’s later image shows blue letters and a more yellow vessel. A 5:3 proportion is suspected, though the white flag’s edges are unclear against the white background.

Martins-Tuválkin interpreted the paired drawings as a flag intended to read correctly on both sides and redrew obverse and reverse separately. Rosanoski disagreed: he understood both to have the vessel pointing towards the fly and considered a single layer sufficient. The intended construction remains unresolved.
