What actually differs
- Both flags use the same colours — red and white — so the difference is in the shades and the shape.
- Monaco is two equal horizontal bands; Singapore is two horizontal bands with a central emblem.
- Monaco flies at 4:5 and Singapore at 2:3, so side by side one looks longer than the other.
- Even the shared colours are mixed differently: red (#CE1126 against #EF3340).
How to keep them straight
Monaco: Monaco is the stubby one.
Singapore: Red on top with a moon and five stars in the corner, white underneath.
The drawing scorer is built for exactly this: if you swap the colours of Monaco it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
