Please compare these images:

The first one is from your project and the second one from Wikipedia.

Most if not all flags have strictly defined colors and at least some of the images used in your project seem to be wrong. According to Wikipedia, the flag of Sweden has #006AA7 for blue and #FECC00 for yellow. When compared to https://github.com/lipis/flag-icon-css/blob/master/flags/1x1/se.svg with #003F73 and #FFCC00 respectively, the difference is very noticeable.

I haven't checked but other flag images might have the same problem.

Thanks! Btw, the proportions of the cross and rectangles also seems incorrect...
Perhaps you could open up a new issue on going through all flags and checking their correctness?

there are quite a few known issues that are already there.. but unfortunately there is no much time :/ color fixes are super easy so if you find anything feel free to report it..
