∙ 14y agoIn 1980 The Royal Canadian Legion remembrance day poppies centers were changes from black to green, to represent the 'green fields of France.' In 1986 The Royal Canadian Legion decided to change the centers back to black because that is the actual color of the center. But they still had a large quantity of green material so they decided that they will continue making green centered poppies until they run out of green material. It wasn't until 2002, that they ran out of green and started using black again.
