Agree about aspect ratios, but we should expect rgb colors to be accurate.

If you check out the flat flags the colors are exact, obviously the styled ones have subtle shadowing etc, and are probably out by a very small margin.
I checked out Estonia from above and the colour doesn't match the examples on Wikipedia. I've also checked out the Australian flag, and it's eyeball-different - the blue in the real flag is closer to navy blue. The blue should be #002B7F, but a colour picker tells me that the 64x64 flat flag has a blue of #003399.
It's not a big problem in my opinion - no-one should be overly hung up about minor anomalies like that for web icons - but it's not true to say the colours are exact.
