color

From Middle English colour, color, borrowed from Anglo-Norman colur, from Old French colour, color, from Latin color.
Displaced English blee, Middle English blee (“color”), from Old English blēo. Also partially replaced Old English hīew (“color”) and its descendants (English hue), which is less often used in this sense. Doublet of couleur.
The spelling color was popularized in modern American English by Noah Webster, to match the spelling of the word's Latin etymon, and make all American spellings of the derivatives consistent (colorimeter, coloration, colorize, colorless, etc).

The flag (i.e., a jack) traditionally flown by pirate ships; popularly thought to be a white skull and crossed bones on a black field (the Jolly Roger).

"Next!" steps gingerly in to confront the medical eye fastened questioningly upon him. "Crook in the guts," he says tersely. The picturesque reports of previously treated and disgusted patients - have left him doubtful, and he casts, an anathematising eye upon the "Black Jack" bottle. "Tabloids and duty!" says the doctor, and the sufferer sighs with relief.

1914 October 11, The Sunday Times, Perth, Australia, page 1, column 9:

Blue Ensign

The flag flown by a British naval auxiliary vessel. Members of certain British yacht clubs may also fly a blue ensign if it has been defaced by the inclusion of an insignia in the fly.


blue peter

The flag, serving as a signal of recall for departure, was used by the British Navy from 1777, and the name “blue peter” had become common by the end of the 18th century. An all-blue flag had earlier seen use for the same purpose by the Dutch East India Company. While “blue” obviously refers to the dominant colour of the flag, the origin of the second part of the term, “peter”, is unknown. Often said to be a corruption of “blue repeater”, there is actually no signal flag that goes by that designation. The use of the flag to spell the letter “P” dates from 1857 and so cannot have played a role in the origin of the term.
The whist play, introduced by Lord Henry Bentinck, was named by him after the flag.

We lay out in the stream for another whole day, with the Blue Peter flying, to show that we were ready for sea, and to summon any passengers who might yet remain on shore.

1851, W.H.G. Kingston, Peter the Whaler:

If we clung as devotedly as some philosophers pretend we do to the abstract idea of life, or were half as frightened as they make out we are, for the subversive accident that ends it all, the trumpets might sound by the hour and no one would follow them into battle - the blue-peter might fly at the truck, but who would climb into a sea-going ship?

1881, Robert Louis Stevenson, Virginibus Puerisque:

The Hispaniola still lay where she had anchored; but, sure enough, there was the Jolly Roger—the black flag of piracy—flying from her peak.

Havana was closely guarded by the dual castles; the more famous of them being the Morro Castle. The castles' purpose long since disregarded, stood as a reminder to the Cubans to keep foreigners at bay. Years ago to accomplish just that—keeping foreigners at bay, chains had been hung between the two castles to keep marauding pirates out. But over the years, money and greed had been able to seep through these chains, and now the pirates no longer came in their schooners, flying jolly Rogers, but as capitalistic businessmen carrying the almighty dollar. During [Fulgencio ] Batista's regime, these United States capitalists were welcomed with open arms and left to loot the Cubans of their lands and properties.

2003, Donna Marie Robie, chapter 53, in The Cuban Connection: Operation Sugar Cane, Lincoln, Neb.: iUniverse, →ISBN, page 241:

[I]t is a documented fact that pirates captured treasures of jewels and gold while Jolly Rogers or bloody flags flew atop their mainmasts (although they were more likely to capture a "treasure" of socks, molasses, and flour).

[…]broad-shouldered men with hard red-beaked faces and huge hands coarsened by generations of straining on heavy oars and halyards,—men who feared only God and the sea-spirits of their strange mythology and were a law unto themselves, adventurers and bigots.

In the pre-cellphone world of the early '80s, my dad might have done a few things that today would raise a few red flags, but in truth cultivated a sense of independence. "I'm headed to the ballpark," he'd say, dropping $20 on the desk in a Chicago hotel room. "Take the El to Addison, your ticket should be at Will Call. Try to find the media room after the game or just hang around outside the gate or just meet me back here."

Evolved Ape investors noticed several red flags leading up to Evil Ape's rug pull. After the public sale on September 24, the announcements seemed suspiciously unprofessional and several of the leaders were not around anymore, one investor who requested anonymity due to the ongoing fallout from the scam told Motherboard. But they chalked it up to lack of experience at the time. "I don't think this giant storm was ever what was expected," the investor said.

saltire

From Middle English sawtoure, from Old French sautoir (“stile, saltire”) (compare French sautoir (“saltire”)), from sauter (“to jump, to leap”) + -oir (subject forming nouns denoting physical objects from verbs), from Latin saltāre (“to dance, to jump”) + -orium, -oria.

But the World Cup winning veteran's left boot was awry again, the attempt sliced horribly wide of the left upright, and the saltires were waving aloft again a moment later when a long pass in the England midfield was picked off to almost offer up a breakaway try.

2011 October 1, Tom Fordyce, “Rugby World Cup 2011: England 16 – 12 Scotland”, in BBC Sport, archived from the original on 2016-09-26:

It was early August. In the Borders, there were few signs yet of a campaign that could take Scotland out of the United Kingdom. A large Y-E-S hung in separate letters from a tree on the road from Coldstream to Kelso. There wasn't a N-O to match it, but Kelso town hall flew both the saltire and the union jack.

rainbow-striped flag used as a symbol of LGBT pride and social movements

The extraordinary Josia Thugwane kept the best for last and made the rainbow flag fly over the closing ceremony of the Games. […] Today we honour all our athletes who ensured that the rainbow flag never touched the ground in Atlanta.

1996, Nelson Mandela, “Address […] at the Parade of Champions from Atlanta Olympics”, in Speeches by Nelson Mandela:

In 1994 South Africa held its first fully democratic elections which were overwhelmingly won by the ANC and Mandela became the first black president. At midnight on April 26th the new rainbow flag was raised and the new national anthem, Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika (God Bless Africa), was sung across the nation.

2008, Lizzie Williams, South Africa (Spiral Guides), Heathrow, FL: American Automobile Association, →ISBN, page 10:

We are pleased to be sending off our hard working teams to go and represent the nation abroad, and fly the rainbow flag high.

He is also the integrator of the highly diverse South African nation, with a half Portuguese wife […] thus Mandela is a 'painted', ordained figure, incidental with attributes of the type, and the South African rainbow flag.

2014, Edmond Furter, Mindprint, Lulu.com, →ISBN, page 134:

2015 May 15, Michael Kirby, “Foreword”, in Mark Trowell, The Prosecution of Anwar Ibrahim, Singapore: Marshall Cavendish, →ISBN:

Just as the rainbow in the blue skies, after a rainstorm, testifies to the existence of imperishable sunshine in the higher firmament, so this rainbow flag of China, born in the throes of the Chinese Revolution, is a standing proof of our abiding faith in democratic government […]

1919, Arthur Richmond Marsh, The Economic World, page 548:

[…] but each Chinese patriot following me will bear, as I bear before you my beloved Chinese rainbow flag, which has come to its life because of the Stars and Stripes. (Displaying the two flags.)

1924, Freemasons. Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, Proceedings of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, page 601:

Officially, however, the five 'strips' or stripes on the Chinese rainbow flag represented – in addition to all five colours of the rainbow as traditionally conceived there – the country's[…]
