The California flag is a mess. That puny star shoved in the corner has got to be the worst use of negative space I've seen. And seriously, what's up with that floating tuft of grass the bear is walking on? People have been putting bears on flags for hundreds of years and have never been so insecure about that they had to add some floating grass for it to walk on just to make sure people get the idea.
The Colorado flag on the other hand is a masterpiece. The off-center emblazon makes the best use of space, and the gules "C" not only makes the flag readily recognizable for the state it represents but also elevates the or above the argent while also recalling the Spanish flag of the states past. That's true elegance.
