Flag of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast

Its flag consists of a rainbow on a white background, with seven narrow horizontal colored stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, sky blue, blue and purple.

The colors are slightly different from the basic spectral colors, with gold in place of yellow, vivid blue instead of light blue, and indigo as dark blue,[1] The number of colors is meant to symbolize the seven-branched Jewish Menorah.

Rainbows are the biblical symbol of peace, happiness, goodness.

The Menorah speaks of the creation of the world in seven days, and the number of bands of the rainbow emphasizes the connection with the ancient Jewish symbol.

The JAO flag was confirmed as safe because of its white background, white borders between the colored stripes, and the seventh (light blue) colour.
