Which colors do you prefer for Armenia's flag?

Which colors do you think represent us the best?

I personally don't like the bright colors of the generally accepted one. I hate the alternative one (C), which honestly, I have only seen on Wikipedia. I like the darker colors of B. I find these shades of red and blue represent my grandmother's cozy, old-fashioned antique-style home better, and the yellow of A is just too bright. Tell me what you think. I find it odd that Armenia doesn't announce official colors for our flag.

The official version should be the one that's on the president's webside:


But I prefer both B and A, I've seen authorities and people use both versions.

Looks like the official version is the halfway point between A's orange and B's orange.

I don't like the red and I DEFINITELY don't like the blue. They don't take me back to the noble colors of our ancient kingdoms.

Artashesian Armenia:


Arshakuni Armenia:


Bagratuni Armenia:


Rubenian Armenia:


Traditional Clothing:


Armenia shouldn't be represented with bright colors, but rather soft, mat colors. It should look like those soft cloths with very fine hair that are usually used for traditional uniforms. They should be noble, elegant colors, not bright, smashing ones. Armenians were always elegant and civilized, we weren't barbaric. You see the red and the blue used for the woman's traditional clothes? Those are the elegant colors of Armenian culture, that's what should represent us (Armenia's colors were Dark Blue and Blood Red, to my knowledge).

This looks very similar to the traditional Georgian clothing.

I can't think of anything more beautiful than a Hay aghjik wearing the traditional costume.

I also think the one above do us more as an example of traditional women costume...

We should have blue of the clothings, pomegranate/clothing red, and apricot color...

We should change Armenian flag to incorporate at least a cross (we are after all first christian nation). Maybe the lion of the Kilikia kingdom.

Well, Armenians, Georgians and Aghvank were always very close. They are/were our cultural brothers.

It's coool! But imo it looks like all the versions we see of the Norwegian, Icelandic, Danese, Swedish, Finnish, etc flags...maybe raise the middle blue line a bit in order to actually make it look like a cross?
