English: Proposed flag of the United Nations, reconstructed from verbal descriptions. The background color was a "smokey blue" (named "Stettinius blue"), which was not found on any flag; the globe was centered on the US at 100 degrees west longitude, as the US was the host of the UN, and extended only to 40 degrees south latitude, cutting off part of South America and New Zealand, because that's where the Rand MacNally map they used as a model ended. Upon adoption as the flag of the UN, the color would be changed to a light blue that was found on some flags, the globe recentred to the international date line and extended to 60 degrees south.
