Haynes' Indian Princely States shows the flag as 4 stripes of *gold* and white. Perhaps another case of saffron inconsistency?

Flicher (1984) "Drapeaux et Armoiries des Etats Princiers de l'Empire des Indes" gives the stripes as "jaune-foncé et blanc" [deep yellow and white] and an accompanying line drawing of the flag shows "Y+" for the stripes.
