Do you think any groups won out on their color selection, any groups left behind? Do you like your flag(s)?

    I really like blue and teal, so the gay men flag looks really cool to me. I also like the asexual flag, but I have no reason for that one. It looks cool.

    I feel like I lucked out with the trans flag. Teal has long been a favorite color, and pink is really growing on me now that I’m allowing myself to like it.

    Bit biased here… But love ace colours. You’ll never take my purple white grey and black thigh highs from me

      Out of the 4 comments here, you are the second to call out the ace colors. I really want to like them, but I just find that combination a little sad looking. Its a bit the same with all the flags that include black.

      Enjoy your thigh highs.

          I have no fashion. My shirts during the summer are usually ones I got free with some event, and in the winter my shirts are just generically colored or striped. But yea, the men’s sections don’t have much variety of color or types.

    All lgbt flags are terrible because they don’t follow the rules of tincture. /s

    But seriously though, I think the trans flag is good. It has a nice amount of contrast and the colours compliment each other well. Other flags seem to have the problem of not enough contrast (like the bi flag) are too noisy (the main rainbow one) or the colours don’t mesh well together (polyamorous). All my personal subjective opinion though!

    Although it could just be because I’ve seen the trans flag a lot more than the others (which is fair; trans rights are super important right now).

      Your opinions are actually part of the genesis of this question as I have similar thoughts. I was looking at them once, and thought a lot of these just don’t “look good”. I don’t know color theory, so I can’t really put it into words that explain why I feel that way.
