W21 is based on Nüsse’s table flag: green with yellow OW. Collectors Corner supplies cap-badge evidence. Stewart 1953 and 1957 appear to render the letters white in black-and-white hatching. The same livery was used by Bremen and the Soya, Wallstar and Walltank companies. Figaro’s funnel photograph shows yellowish buff distinct from the yellow/gold letters. Merchant Ships 1959 and 1963 show a black top.

Merchant Ships 1959 and 1963 give W194 as an alternative funnel; no additional separate design description is supplied.

Schneider’s Bremen flag, W496, shows light-orange OW on green. Rosanoski objects that the letters should be yellow, the green dark, and the “Otto Wallenius” attribution erroneous: the founder was Olof, and Kludas referred to the German subsidiary, which used the parent’s colours. Schneider replied that he had used a flag in Klaus-Peter’s dossier, with yellow lettering and grassy rather than bluish green. The exchange leaves shade reproduction qualified by photographs, printing and screens rather than claiming absolute colour certainty.

W497 is Jorge Candeias’s March 1999 flag, discussed by Bakker as green with yellow OW. The accompanying reference to the joint company’s white double-W flag concerns a separate operating-company flag, not a replacement description of this image.
