A rainbow flag was proposed for [[Armenia]] when it regained independence after World War I. It was designed by Armenian artist [[Martiros Saryan]]. It was not adopted as the country instead went with three stripes using the colors used in a past Armenian kingdom. The artist used muted, richer colors reflecting Armenian fabrics and carpets.<ref>{{cite web |title=Հայկական դրոշի "սարյանական թեզի" առեղծվածը կամ ի՞նչ կապ կա հայոց եռագույնի և ծիածանի գույների միջև (լուսանկարներ) |url=https://www.tert.am/am/news/2012/06/17/rainbow-tricolor/529884 |website=[[Tert.am]] |language=Armenian |date=17 June 2012 |trans-title=The mystery of the "Saryan thesis" of the Armenian flag or what is the connection between the Armenian tricolor "rainbow colors" (photos) |access-date=31 May 2022 |archive-date=31 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220531021602/https://www.tert.am/am/news/2012/06/17/rainbow-tricolor/529884 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
