What actually differs
- Uruguay adds yellow, which Greece does not have.
- Even the shared colours are mixed differently: blue (#0D5EAF against #0038A8).
How to keep them straight
Greece: Blue first, blue last, cross in a square canton five stripes tall.
Uruguay: Anchor on the biggest shape: a rectangular canton in the upper hoist corner over a striped field in white, blue and yellow. Everything else on the flag hangs off that.
The drawing scorer is built for exactly this: if you swap the colours of Greece it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
