Description of the flag

According to the Thai Ministry of Interior in 2000, the flag of Ya Sothon province looked white over light blue, with a representation of the provincial seal in the center, the seal having a black background. But the provincial flag can be seen on the provincial website at http://www.yasothon.go.th/web/Yaso_files/images/yaso11.png (in http://www.yasothon.go.th/web/provincial/provincial2.html) where in fact its colours are pink over light blue, and the seal in the middle has a white background, and not a black one as on the image on the Ministry of Interior website. I think that the reason for this misinterpretation is a transparency problem in the image seen on the Ministry of interior website.
