Flag of Suhopolje

The flag of Suhopolje (municipal website) is in proportions 1:2, yellow with the coat of arms in the middle.
The image shown on the municipal website is ambigous regarding the shade of yellow, suggesting pale yellow. However the flag used the County Assembly Hall has clearly the usual shade of yellow.
