These were formally established in a proclamation by the Governor-General, Sir Ninian Stevens, dated 19 April 1984.\n\nGreen and gold are the colours commonly used by Australians when representing their county in international sporting events. These are the predominant colours found on many species of Wattle, namely, green foliage and golden inflorescences.

Blue and yellow? Give me a break yo. How can anyone not barf over those colors. Personally I like the Heat's red uniform (not a heat fan, but still cool). \nI also think the Clippers need new unis. They are UGLY! I am finally getting used to Torontos red unis, but the purple ones need to go. Bad. \nThe Pacers with the pinstripes that reggie used to wear were pretty kewl.\nAnd even though this is way off topic, the Chargers and the Redskins need new uniforms too. They are so ugly, I don't think you could pay me enough to wear one. Uhhhhh!

I think because the colour of flag was designed with the meaning behind the colour.\n\nLike my country flag, it's red and white.\nRed = brave\nWhite = holy/clean\n\nSo, the founder of the country design the flag because they use the characteristics and meanigs of the colour to describe the country and to express the spirit of the country. It's random, yes we know that.

Web site owners can set the colors and fonts to appear any color they choose.  I think the color was set to pink by Yahoo to promote/advertise the personals section - it WAS right before V-day.

It is estimated to be between 40,000 and 60,000 years ago. No accurate analysis has been conducted. It is beleived they arrived accross from PNG. It is interesting to note that also the dingo did arrive the same way, having ancestors that originate in S.E. ASIA.

This isn’t a science question, it’s a question of etymology, the study of words. And every colour name has its own unique history. \n\nSome colour names like ‘red’ and ‘blue’ are ancient, going back 20, 000 years or more. Nobody is quite sure who invented these words or where, but they are ancient in origin. \n\nOther colour names like ‘orange’ are only a few hundred years old and their history is well documented. In the case of orange the word only came into use after the fruit orange was imported into Europe from China about 500 years ago. Until then the objects we say are orange today were simply described as red or reddish yellow. There is a common English flower which is clearly a bright orange colour that is still called the scarlet pimpernel because it was named in the days before orange entered into the English language\n\nEvery colour  name has a history all of its own. Some are not well known and date back to the dawn of the various language groups. Other like pink or orange are reasonably well documented and only came into existence within the last few hundred years.

Chaps - the Union Jack is a 'slang' term.\n\nIt is the Union Flag!\n\nAnd yes the Union Flag represents the United Kingdom of Great Britain and is made up of ONLY the English 'Red Cross', the Welsh Flag (red diagonal lines on white) and the Scottish flag where the dark blue comes from (again with white diagonal lines).\n\nThat is it. No Irish (neither Northern nor Republic) flags in there and definitely no Commonwealth.

The colors on various countries flags come from the 5 rings on the Olympic flag, blue, black, red, yellow and green.  These colors represent the five continents that participate in the games.Blue representing Europe, Black representing Africa, Red representing America, Yellow representing Asia and Green representing Australia(Oceania). Every country has at least one of these colors.

The Aussies just call us whinging Poms because they used to get called Pohms - Prisoners of Her Majesty.\nThe whinging bit is just there to annoy us. XD

The source below is from the goverment website of the state of Victoria, for the 2005/2006 year (this year) it ends on 2/4/06 at 2 am EST (being an American and living in our EST I don't know if Austraila calls one of it's time zones EST, so I will assume that it's Melbourne local time (GMT +10), and not my time zone (GMT -5), and I am using your notation of the date, 2 April 2006). However, next year it ends on 25/3/07, which is where everyone is getting that from

It came about unintentionally while the military was trying to streamline the ranking insignia for all branches. However, the "gold" is actually brass with gold coloring on it. For an explanation of how this came about, check out this wikipedia link:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Army_officer_rank_insignia
