Almost none of these make sense. Switzerland's official red for example ranges between #FF0000 (brightest version) and #B02121 (darkest version), so even if we were to take the darkest shade of red, mixed with a 25-40% ratio of white (due to different proportion versions), this would certainly make it a darker pinkish color like Austria or Norway

I computed the average color of the Swiss flag in the RGB colorspace, and the average color should be #FF3333. The value in the map is #993232, I have no idea how they could have obtained this.

Details: The swiss flag is a square divided in 1024 sub-squares, of these 204 are white (let's use #FFFFFF, although it's undefined), and 820 are red (#FF0000, as defined by law).

My best guess is program was designed for rectangular flags and with square it filled blanks on sides with black

Good thing they didn't try it with Nepal's flag then.
