Braille Letter S Flag, Sierra

I is 9th letter of the alphabet, and an easy way to remember this fact is to think of the I-9 assassin droid from Star Wars.  Nine is assigned the colour pink as pink is final number before the zero reset.  So red is combined with white to give the pink colour of completion.

Braille Letter R Flag, Romeo

The 18th letter in the alphabet is R.  Consequently the colours coded to 1 and 8 are used, which is red and black.  Remember the 1st colour of the rainbow is red which is 1 and 8 is coded to black.

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.
