I got a laugh, but a quick read of the US flag code seems to indicate that the flag must adhere to the diagram attached.

• Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.
• This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance's rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.
• Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.
• Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii's are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.
• This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.
• We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don't, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.
• If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance's rules, please report it.
• Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed
• Be nice, and don't create social chaos. That's it. Pretty simple, huh?
• For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: "[NB] Story of my life!" This will make searching for content much easier.
• This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in
• Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial
• Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll

So I had a conversation on this in a different community. I'm going to summarize my conclusion here.
Sadly the flag code defines the flag as having a singular blue fied.
I tried to get a good definition of what exactly a field is. Here we have the definition "The backdrop color to a flag. Ex: On the Arkansas state flag, it is the red part."
I'm not actually finding a better definition and am starting to question if the canton in the US flag counts as a field in vexillology terms since it isn't a 'backdrop'.
A better way, and perhaps the more accurate, is to ask how we would construct a flag. The red field in the Arkansas flag is one piece of fabric. The blue canton is one piece of fabric. Two blue stripes could be once piece of fabric with everything else sewn into of it. But I think the better construction would be two pieces of fabric sewn on to the outer two stripes.
But I wouldn't worry about it since section 5 codifies "existing rules and customs pertaining to the display and use of the flag of the United States" by using an existing executive order. That order's attachment basically defines the flag as you know it.
Of course none of this is actually has a mechanism of enforcement so you can fly just about anything and just call it the American flag.

Tldr; this is a valid flag when displayed digitially, as there is no official guidance on that front
Not quite. If you are in so deep that you are worried about color you already past the executive order that defines the layout of the flag as you know it.
If you notice all the flags in the video has a singular blue area. This one has two. Whether that is valid or not dependa on how you interpret "union of the flag shall be forty-eight stars, white in a blue field".
If you think that means the blue area must be contiguous then this flag does not meet the definition. If you think the blue area does not need to be contiguous then this flag may meet the definition.
That can't be true, can it?
Edit: I have spent too much time on this; I can't find anything to the contrary.
Hell yeah! Shared.
