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.

On June 28, 2021, another flag was submitted by Nyoomster on the LGBTA+ wiki discord.
