Do not make flag reminiscent of flags for real life countries or groups (once again, with an exception of identities related to that country or group). In practice this means do not make a tricolor flag with the colors being [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-Slavic_colors red, white, and blue]. Do not make a flag with the only colors being [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-Arab_colors red, black, white, and green]. Do not make a flag with the only colors being [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-African_colors green, red, and yellow]; or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-Africanism green, red, and black]. Once again, a Nordic cross might be okay, as long as the colors are different enough that it's definitely not real country's flag. If you're unsure put your flag through a reverse google image search to see if any existing flags are similar to it. |

Avoid using a single color, or a small selection of colors to represent "skin", especially if it's peach or tan because it's very white centric. I would avoid having a stripe representing "skin" just in general because it's a very weird if you think too hard about it. |
