It depends on whether you count coat of arms/emblems in the centre of the flag....in which case Spain counts I think? There's also that very strange new Bolivian flag which represents some of the Andean people? Think El Salvador, Guetamala have purple

Spain’s is a bit of a weird one. Their coat of arms on the flag is more of a stylised version which has replaced the purple elements with something closer to pink, so it’s a bit debatable.

The only flag belonging to a UN recognised state that you can say definitely has purple is Dominica. That’s because the emblem of the parrot isn’t the coat of arms, it’s a design made specifically for the flag.

In the 1970's one of the things the patriotic British press ridiculed was the Squared off steering wheel in the Allegro. Nowadays its hard to buy a brand new car without one - most VAG products seem to have one and Stellantis are going that way yet the patriotic British press don't mention it

Domestic Cats developed the miaow to communicate with humans. No other cat species does it.

Felines that are able to miaow cannot roar, and vice versa.
