Alt flag created by Apollo
The creator of the greyromantic flag was (now deactivated) tumblr user lesbiandoe, who created it on (or before) September 22, 2014. This flag was based off of the greysexual flag made by Milith Rusignuolo and it's meanings, but using Green instead of Purple to represent Aromanticism (instead of Asexuality.) It has the following meanings:
- Green: aromanticism
- Gray: the transitional stage between aromanticism and alloromanticism.
- White: alloromanticism.[1][2]
A third flag was proposed by Apollo on November 1st, 2020. The stripes do not have any meaning, but go from green to grey as a reference to the aromantic spectrum.
