The first known version of the aromantic flag featured four stripes: green for aromanticism, yellow for friendship, orange for the spectrum between romance and aromanticism, and black for
alloromantics. The origin of this flag is unknown. Following this version, Whimsy followed up with another slight redesign in November 2014 into its current version that has since been adopted widely by the aromantic community. The flag features five equally-sized horizontal bars. The main color, green, was chosen as it is the opposite of red, which is most commonly associated with romantic love. The two shades of green represent the aromantic spectrum, white represents
platonic love and friendship, and grey and black represent the different parts of the sexuality spectrum. Whimsy described the meaning of the stripes in further detail: == Gallery ==
