Formed 1891 by the British company Alfred Holt & Co. with sources
up to WW2 showing the Holt flag being used and with this association and
the Oceaan flag being of similar design I would imagine that the blue would
be a dark shade. Sources agree with the version shown apart from Brown
1951 which shows blue letters with dots after them.
