Answer:

  182

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of permutations of 14 things taken 2 at a time is ...

  14P2 = 14·13 = 182

The first color can be any of the 14 on the palette. The second color must be different, so can be any of the remaining 13.

___

We assume that a "yellow/red" flag is different from a "red/yellow" flag. That is, order matters.
