Gāoxióng / Kao-hsiung special municipality

According to edward-lee.com, vexilla-mundi.com and Wikipedia, a white flag with large emblem centered on it. This emblem, quite different from the colorful logo at Wikiedia: Kaohsiung City seal, shows a bronze stylized "高" (gāo) from the city name on a very dark blue cogwheel outline surrounded by very dark red lettering in Chinese and English: "中華民國高雄市" (but, like some others we've seen, sure seems to be written backwards: "中華民國高雄市") and "Kaohsiung City - R.O.C." in Latin capitals, below.

At Globalflag, this same design but with yellow "高", blue cogwheel and medium red lettering. Which is the correct/current design? Or are these just saturation differences for the same design? Ratio: 2:3.
