Braille Letter Q Flag, Quebec

Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet, consequently the colours coded to 1 and 7 are used.  Since red is the 1st colour of the spectrum it gets 1, while violet is the 7th colour.  The Braille dots are in white since white is the assigned contrast indicator for red.

Braille Letter P Flag, Papa

Since P is the 16th letter of the alphabet it gets the colours coded to 1 and 6, which are red and indigo respectively.  Remember that red is the 1st colour of the rainbow while indigo is the 6th colour of the rainbow.

Braille Letter O Flag, Oscar

Red is coded to 1 and blue is coded to 5.  This represents the number 15, and the letter O is the 15th letter in the alphabet.  Thus the Braille O flag is represented by the colours red and blue.

Braille Letter Flag N - November

The Letter N Braille flag is red and green. The first colour of the rainbow is red; consequently red is assigned the number one.  Green is the fourth colour of the rainbow; consequently green is assigned the number four.  The brl dots are white because white is the assigned contrast indicator.

Braille Letter M Flag, Mike

The colours red and yellow code for 1 and 3, which represent the 13th letter of the alphabet - M.  One is red since its the first colour of the spectrum while yellow is the third colour of the spectrum. 

Braille Letter L Flag, Lima

The Braille Letter L Flag is red and orange.  Red is coded to one while orange is coded to orange.  Together they make up the number 12, which is the number that L represents.  The neat coincidence about the brl letter L is that the dot pattern mirrors the shape of a lower case L.  But the bad thing about that is the confusion with the number 1.  Is it a 1 or an l?  What were they thinking! A possible solution would have the keys and computer display the lower case L as it is in cursive. 

Braille Letter K Flag - Kilo

The Braille Letter K Flag is all red with the two dots associated with the letter K.  Since K is the eleventh letter in the alphabet the coded numbers to 11 are all red.
