The image itself also doesn't quite match (at least based on the screenshot provided to us).
The colours shown on my screen are:
#B00B69#A65EAB
#1D1BCB
The "biggest" change is A7→ AB for the middle's blue channel (4 units). However, since JPEG uses YCbCr 4:2:2 (¼ as much resolution for the two color channels that encode hue and saturation in a linear way) by default and blue is only ⅙ of a contributor to lightness as green, it's explicable without malicious intent by the OOP.
Here I go learning about entirely new color encoding systems. I know RGB, I vaguely know about HSV and CMYK, I know HSV has some siblings too, but somehow never came across YCbCr and its siblings before.
Thanks for showing me a quaint new corner of nerddom <3
Pantone (fuck that monopoly BTW) is great at swatches for IRL (reflective) objects and paints, and a decent job at replicating their look on monitors. Your screen and eyes may work slightly different but unless there's a defect, the resulting feel will be pretty much the same.
We're talking well-calibrated monitors in standardized lighting conditions. Even then, matching transmissive and reflective color is really hard. Heck, even glossy, matte and textured materials can be difficult to match.

Wikipedia disagrees but I'm willing to make a version 2.0
I mean, I knew they weren't exactly the same colors, but it's amazing that those codes produced such similar colors.

It suffered from JPEG compression. The difference is really small.
A5->A6 1C->1B
Incremented and decremented by one point, respectively (didn't look at the other values tbh, I only cared about B00B, A55 and D1CC)

EA7 is important, that’s “eat”
I typed the hex codes and drew the flag, this is what I got:
what are you using to get the hex code?
Gpick is available in apt, and probably many other package managers.
There's Eyedropper in Firefox's "More tools". Annoyingly, it's one of the few with no keyboard shortcut.
on windows I use power toys and ctrl win c
alright, i was expecting the difference in colors to come from screenshots.
That's not royal blue! Royal blue is dark and purplish! Magenta is also way more purple than that! And lavender is supposed to be light purple! grrrr
This table have PMS, could this affect how do we perceive these colors?

Afaik ladies under PMS also may see colors very differently, due to hormones, blood pressure, dryness and such.
Replicating the look on "arbitrary monitors" seems very difficult...

Nooooooo!!!!!
It's more: that's boob 69, ass eat and probably something else using all characters for the third one too, anyone see it?
One dicksty-nine
ASS EAT
A55 EA7
“1 dick 9” inches?
I'd prefer the barely-perceptibly different #1D1CC8 as a reference to balls, as in
8===D.One-dicc-ate
ah the three food groups
Bisexuality is about having a balanced nutrition.
i thought it was about fucking with wheels on.
Pussy just doesnt exist to you? Your diet is totally unbalanced!
BOOB 69
ASS EAT
DICK
9 = pronounced sounds like Finnish "nain", meaning "I'm having sex". Surely accidental but checks out.
Oh my god. I love it even more now!
#AF0B68 #A65EAB #1C1BCB
Okay, but where's the pussy? Or we were supposed to discrminate against vagina havers?
How do you spell pussy with hex code?
Oh, I see...
#C00CEEeh, too purple to work:
Probably can't be spelled with hex characters.
