Morse Code Flag for the Number Nine: 9 = _ _ _ _ .

Morse Code Flags are new addition to the fun field of International Flag Signals.  In this case the number nine which in Morse Code is DASH DASH DASH DOT is represented in the flag with four blue stripes and one star.  Reason being, stripes represent DASHES while stars represent DOTS.

Morse Code Flag for the Number Eight: 8 = _ _ _ . .

Dash, Dash, Dash, Dot, Dot is Morse Code for the Number 8.  But the flag has a Stripe, Stripe, Stripe, Star, Star which reflects this nature. 

Morse Code Flag for the Number Seven: 7 = _ _ . . .

The Morse Code Flag for the Number 7 have two stripes and three stars.  The two stripes are for the first two dashes, while the three stars are for the next three dots.

Morse Code Flag for the Number Six: 6 = _ . . . .

Since stars represents dots and stripes represent dashes, we have the number 6 Morse Code flag with one stripe and four stars underneath.  The background colour indigo, or dark blue and sometimes blue, is associated with the 6th colour of the visible spectrum.

Morse Code Flag for Five: 5 = . . . . .

Since Morse Code for five has five dots, we have five stars on the flag.  There are no stripes because there are no dashes coded in the number 5.  As blue, or sky-blue, is the 5th color of the visible spectrum, the field is blue.  The stars are red because the contrast indicator for blue is red.

Morse Code Flag for Four: 4 = . . . . _

The Morse Code Flag for the number 4 has a green background since green is the 4th colour of the rainbow.  The four stars represent the four dots, while the one stripe represents the one dash.

Morse Code Flag for Three: 3 = . . . _ _

The Morse Code Flag for the number 3 has a yellow background, because yellow is the 3rd colour of the visible spectrum.  The three stars represent the three dots while the two stripes represent the dashes.


Coincidentally the pattern of stars and stripes mirrors the flag of Washington DC. The primary difference is that the DC flag has a white background and red stars and stripes.  Funny tertiary coincidence is that DC is the also the 3rd official capitol of USA, under the US Constitution.
