The NAVA image at http://www.nava.org/Flag%20Design/City%20Survey%202004/city_flag_photos/Lansing.jpg and shown in The American City Flag Survey and American City Flags is essentially identical to that shown above (by CyberFlag), but the sky in our image is B+ instead of P+, and the trees are B++, not V: who’s right? These color differences are also in http://www.cityoflansingmi.com/images/homepage_header.gif, at the city official website. I understand that these differing colors come also from http://www.cityoflansingmi.com/images/secondary/secondarypsd_05.jpg & http://www.cityoflansingmi.com/images/secondary/secondarypsd_01.jpg, also from the city website, but the first and largest image is more "authoritative", and its colors are more realistic. An actual flag photo at http://www.cityoflansingmi.com/council/images/CouncilWeb.jpg is not detailed enough.
