The flag of Mysore was red over brown with arms in the centre. The image above, without arms, is incorrect and this
flag was never official. The colours of the flag are defined in French as "rouge brique sur brun" [brick red and brown]. As far as I know the brown is a light maroon (perhaps like the golden shown in
Neubecker (1992)) and I speculate that the flag can in fact be red over golden. Remember that some months ago Nozomi Kariyasu travelled to Bangalore (capital of Mysore/Karnataka and he saw many red over yellow flags.

Brun is brown, so I would say maroon rather than golden.

This is the old flag of the Tippu's navy of Mysore (in use c.1784-1799),
white with a red border, with five red disks, one in the center, the others in
the four corners. Source: Ziggioto (1998)

Blas Delgado Ortíz drew this banner from a scan I previously made from
Ziggioto (1998). This is one of probably many
banners of Tippu Sahib, the Tiger of Mysore (1782-1799).
