The Serbian variant of the Gay Pride / Rainbow Flag is created by placing the
national arms, sized and positioned as in the national flag, onto the rainbow
field with red at the top. The design has first appeared as the illustration of
an online article announcing the Belgrade Pride 2015 [1]. There, the colors were
adjusted so that the same shade of red appeared in the rainbow stripe and in the
shield of arms; the yellow stripe was also made darker, nearly matching the gold
from the shield of arms. However, the only currently known record of the flag
appearance in real life, a photo taken at the Belgrade Pride 2021 [2], reveals
visibly lighter shades of red and yellow used for the rainbow stripes, as
typically used in the generic rainbow flags, including the one visible in the
same photo farther behind. The flag thus employs two shades of red; the same
might have been said of yellow as well, if gold, which appears in the arms, had
not been treated as a different color in vexillology.
