The color seems to incline towards the purple.

Well, for my eye this is dark red, redish maroon. It's not look like purple to me.

The town emblem was adopted on Mar 1st 2006 but there is no flag law. The maroon flag has a white town emblem in the center. The town emblem is a stylized kanji 白 Shira of Shirahama. The triangle stands for the towns unlimited development, the inner disc for the Sun and the outer circle for a reconciliation.
