the greyromantic flag.

Greyromantic (also spelled Grayromantic) describes those who experience romantic attraction with a lesser frequency, or with a lesser intensity, than would be considered average for an alloromantic person. People with a greyromantic identity come to feel a sense of relatedness to the aromantic spectrum due to this discrepancy.

A flag with varying grey and green shades with a solid white stripe in the middle

Alternate Greyromantic flag made by Angel

Common traits of Greyromanticism include:

  • Experiencing romantic attraction infrequently.

  • Feeling romantic attraction but not desiring a romantic relationship.
  • Feeling unsure about how to identify romantic attraction
  • Experiencing attraction that is only ambiguously romantic.
  • Feeling alienated from romance.
  • Feeling attraction only in specific circumstances.

Greyromantic can be an orientation in and of itself, or in combined with other romantic orientations e.g. grey-homoromantic. Greyromantic can also sometimes be used as an umbrella term for any aro-spec identity that is not purely aromantic.

The third flag was proposed by Apollo on November 21st, 2020. The stripes do not have any meaning, but go from green to gray as a reference to the aromantic flag and spectrum.

On June 28, 2021, another flag was submitted by Nyoomster on the LGBTA+ wiki discord. Nyoomster's flag was intended to recapture the feeling which comes with being in a grey zone, signalled by the grey boarders surrounding the green colors of the aro spectrum.
