red white and blue flags

Today I noticed how similar Puerto Rico's flag is to the Cuban flag. The design looks basically the same except for the red and blue colors being swapped. But the dimensions are also a little different and the shades of the colors may differ:

Puerto Rican flag vs Cuban flag

Flag of Puerto Rico

It is at least easy to remember which is which, due to Puerto Rico's having red and white strips, and a blue background for its star, the same as the U.S. flag.
