NATO Signal Flags

These flags drawn them to correspond to US Navy specifications; other NATO navies use slightly different proportions in some cases.

NATO also assigns different meanings to the letter flags and combinations of letter flags and numeral flags and pennants than does the ICS, but those meanings are classified.

I'm attaching a set if the NATO-signal flags. I started out adding the transparency indicated by grey areas, but I also reduced the palettes and set light grey as pen 0/background for each. The resulting files are also slightly smaller.
I didn't touch the artwork, except that in one case I removed some stray black pixels. I did notice the rather dark green and blue. Is there any special reason for that? Does NATO specify these, or maybe the US Navy?
