Oh, and a 108 byte version using dirty tricks: \input color\def~#1!{\color[rgb]{#1}\rule{4cm}{8cm}}\shipout\hbox{~0,.33,.64!~1,1,1!~.94,.25,.21!}\batchmode. Here, the \end command is omitted entirely; this leads to an error, but the \batchmode silences it and allows the job to finish. In fact, if you are running LaTeX in an IDE rather than from a terminal, chances are it may have already set \batchmode from the command line, in which case it may be omitted, too.

If you bypass LaTeX’s output routine and just ship a box containing the flag, you don’t need any of the usual nonsense like \documentclass and \begin/\end{document}. (This also neatly gets rid of the unwanted “Page 1”.) On an unrelated note, the outer brackets inside the definition of the macro are unnecessary. So all in all, here is a 116 byte version: \input color\catcode`@11\def~#1!{\color[rgb]{#1}\rule{4cm}{8cm}}\shipout\hbox{~0,.33,.64!~1,1,1!~.94,.25,.21!}\@@end. (Here, \@@end is LaTeX’s renaming of the primitive TeX command \end. The \catcode change is to make it work.)

You can save 4 bytes by using the active character ~ in place of \z.

For completeness, revised version (139 bytes): \documentclass{proc}\input color\begin{document}\def\z#1!{{\color[rgb]{#1}\rule{4cm}{8cm}}}\z0,.33,.64!\z1,1,1!\z.94,.25,.21!\end{document}

You can also \input color

s.\newcommand\z[1].\def\z#1 to save a bunch of bytes. Also, you can shave off a few by using \def\z#1!{…}\z0,.33,.64!\z1,1,1!\z.94,.25,.21!—that is, use your own delimiters instead of braces for grouping

Well this is about 100 bytes shorter than my asymptote solution...
