    In their defence, it’s the earth and the sky. Yellow for the extremely fertile wheat fields grown on black earth soil and blue for the sky overhead. It’s fitting, but it’s ultimately taken on a reactionary connotation from this fucking war.

    Contrast this with their black and red, which is essentially the flag of the mask off Ukronazi. It takes the sky and earth concept and twists it into your typical nazi shit; blood and soil.

      Blue and yellow are also classic complementary colors which look really nice together. A lot of things are blue and yellow because it’s pleasing to the eye so I really hate that such a nice color combo has been taken over by fascism because now if you use it even half prominently in your designs post 2022, people are going to think you’re one of those people.

      Fuck man one of my long time original characters uses that color combo!

      I always saw the blue and yellow as a beach tbh, yellow for the sand and blue for the sky.
