I feel like the white is integral. It just feels off without it.

This is not the Bulgarian flag.

You see, you’re attempting to design a flag that suggests historic association, yet completely ignoring the classic European heraldry principle – no color on color, no metal on metal.
A lot of flag color choices come from medieval system for coats of arms that used strict color rules to ensure contrast and visibility.
Heraldry divides colors (called tinctures) into
“metals” – gold/yellow and silver/white
and
“colors” – like red, blue, green, black, and purple.
So, according to the abovementioned principle red on white or yellow on blue works, but red on green or white on yellow was avoided.
This was mostly about readability at a distance, especially on banners. Many flags still reflect this logic.
