The flag of the Department and City of Arequipa. The colour is discribed
as grenado, a light kind of red. This flag is surely the current one:
There was one hanging on an offical building at main square of Arequipa city
(Plaza de Armas). It was long time used, so it was teared up and, by
the strong sunlight in 2300 m altitude, lightend to orange. But I spoke with
several inhabitants and all said the right colour is grenado.

About the flag of Arequipa, I can confirm that this color
(
) is the same colour as a flag, I photographed in a shop.

Description of a color is very complicate. Accoding dates I received
the flag is intense red, and this is the color of the flower called
Mastuerzo (locally Taxao) that I dont know as is exactly.
I submited the pre 1992 and the post 1992 versions
and they were considered OK by at less two peruvian vexillologist. Then
I assume that the color is close to the correct one.

The pre 1992 dark sour cherry or garnet flag.
