I don't know if you were trying to use it as a source for your claim, but the video you linked does describe and link to the exact textile color specification from the US government.

I'm not a vexillologist, just watched the video, so idk.

For textiles, but not print or computer screens. Also, it is a GSA guideline for use by US government agencies themselves only (along with quality standards when the federal government purchases things from private vendors such as chocolate [1], but it does not define what can be sold as chocolate and what not, the FDA would define that [2]).
