I ask partly because I'm colourblind, but I've come across these flag designs, and I find them appalling. The flags seem to have been put together in five minutes, and the colours are poorly thought-out. There's a reason why it's considered normal to place a 'metal' (yellow/or or white/argent) on or between colours. Presumably the blues are supposed to represent rivers or seas or something, but to me, they just look bad. Is it my eyes that are wrong?

Yeah i agree about the choices made about which colours are next to each other,

the only flags from that selection which i find appealing, are:
Flag of Byelorussian SSR (basically for the design on the left side)

and the Flag of Transcaucasian
