Summary

Description
English: The Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe adopted this 15-star flag in September 1953. It was then rejected by the committee of ministers. (note: this flag is sometimes erroneously depicted with a sky blue background. The documents of the Council of Europe indicate that the background was azure (blue in heraldic). When "sky-blue" is mentioned, it does not refer to the shade, but to the symbolism of the colour.)
Français : L'assemblée consultative du Conseil de l'Europe a adopté ce drapeau à 15 étoiles en septembre 1953. Il fut ensuite rejeté par le comité des ministres. (note: ce drapeau est parfois représenté avec un fond bleu ciel. C'est incorrect. Les documents du Conseil de l'Europe indiquent bien que le fond était azure (c'est-à-dire bleu en héraldique, et non bleu clair). L'expression "sky-blue" est indiqué dans la version anglaise des documents, en référence à la symbolique - bleu comme le ciel - et non la teinte de la couleur. C'est l'origine probable de cette misconception.)
