Anyone who has studied Spanish will recognize this letter: Ñ, pronounced 'en-yay.' This is the flag for the Capital Ñ letter. It is a tri-bar of red, blue, and indigo. In the middle in the capital Ñ letter in white.
On American keyboards there is an N and a ~ but no Ñ. It is tempting to hold down shift or ALT to maybe get an Ñ. Nope, the key is to hold down the ALT key then the numbers 1-6-5 and an Ñ will appear. Red is coded to 1 since it is the first colour of the rainbow, indigo/blue is coded to 6 and sky blue/cyan is coded to 5. This order of number to colours is based upon the order of the rainbow. Thus this flag is coded to the colour metric in ASCII for capital Ñ.
But lower case ñ has a different code. It is 1-6-4 thus green appears on the fly.
