Rainbow Flag colours are inaccurate

[seangibbz]

The colours of the 3D and Color Rainbow Flag emoji are much more subdued than they should be.

The colours should be

• Red
• Orange
• Yellow
• Green
• Blue
• Purple

However, they appear as

• Red
• Red-Orange
• Orange-Yellow
• Green
• Blue
• Purple

This not only contradicts the standard hues of the Pride Flag, but also offer inconsistency when compared against rainbow flag emoji of other platforms.

The colour palette of the emoji should be adapted to more accurately reflect the reference flag.

The palette of the Flat variation could be used as a reference.

Is there a policy or guiding philosophy that governs the adjustment of established color pallets in things like flags? #28 seems to imply that flags in general will not be part of the icon set. I will just casually observe that for whatever reason both the built-in Windows and Fluent icon sets have taken significant liberty modifying colors of this and the transgender flag compared to all other major vendors.
