Talk:United States Coast Guard

Colors

United States Coast Guard#Colors correctly states the Pantone colors for CG Red (179C) and CG Blue (307C) and cites the official doc with that info, but the RGB values given here and in our other color articles and those given and shown in sources are widely variable, and could use some clarification. Colors shown for PDF sources are those rendered by Adobe Reader X on Win7 in 32-bit color mode.

I dispute the idea(in note1) that the CG is older than the US Navy. The material in the article provides all the reasons to reject that idea. The modern CG as we know it was created in 1915 by merging two different services. One service had a very different misison then that of the CG today. You cant really trace the history prior to it. But lets suppose you can and you want to say that the CG traces itself to 1790 with the Revenue Collection then you have to allow the US Navy to trace its history to the Continental Navy. The fact is the CG was created in 1915 not 1790. The Navy is mentioned in the Constitution not the CG or even its predecessor services. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2c7:97f:c2d7:4565:a39d:e088:a634 (talk) 19:05, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
