My mother used to refer to the French flag as "blue to the mast and red to the last" meaning aristocracy to the guillotine and the revolutionaries being left wing. I don't know how it originated and searches don't reveal it as a quote by anyone.

M. Macron's administration is correct in reinstating the darker blue.
The blue in the French flag should be much darker than the blue of the Union Flag of the United Kingdom which is often shown much lighter than it should be, but still darker than the flag of Scotland which it is intended to represent.
Pantone 282, 280 and 279 respectively if anyone is interested.
Similar situations exist throughout the world, including, but not exclusively, other instances of the Union Flag incorporated in national and state flags such as New Zealand, Australia and Hawaii.
