It can be noted that the description of the Caldas flag says
the ratio must be of 7:10.

According to the description of the flag of Caldas department
(at Caldas governorship website <www.gobernaciondecaldas.gov.co>),
the flag has two vertical strips, yellow at the hoist
and green at the fly.
It says: "Se compone de los colores amarillo y verde,
dispuestos verticalmente en partes iguales, de manera que la
parte amarilla corresponde al asta de la bandera. Las medidas
normales de la bandera son: largo total 1.50 y ancho 1.05."
[Composed by the yellow and green colors, vertically disposed in
equal parts, so that the yellow part is at the
hoist. The normal size of the flag are: total length
1.50 and width 1.05].
This gives a ratio of 7:10 (even if the graphic is 1:2). At the
front page of the site <www.gobernaciondecaldas.gov.co>,
there is, however, a picture of a horizontal flag.

I must stress that Gaceta de Banderas 15 [gdb] is a poor indicator of the actual
proportions of the municipal flags. Some flags are just annexed
to the Coat of Arms in a square proportion. Two of these flags
were presented previously in a 2:1 proportion. Many of
these flags could be such. I think it will be wise to place
a note that indicates that the true proportions of these flags
could be 1:2 also.
