One of the newest "localizations" of Italian peace flags was done in
Estonia, by replacing Italian word PACE or English word PEACE with
their Estonian counterpart RAHU. There are very few sources for these
flags, the earliest of those dating from 2012, which suggests that
the flag was created not much earlier. Other sources date [this flag] from
2014; the photo they display (the same for both) displays the
flags with different color shades from those in the 2012 photo, which
is much due to visibly different lighting conditions. The color
pattern was the same in 2012 and 2014: purple, dark blue, light blue,
green, yellow, orange and red, word RAHU being inscribed in white over
light blue and green. As the 2014 photo provided a much more complete
view of the flag, it served as the model for the flag image presented
here, regarding the color shades. It shall be noted that in both
occasions, the flag was used at the LGBT-related events - Tallinn
Pride - which fits in the trend of increasing use of these flags at
such events.
