Design and Colors
Page took the colours from an existing bisexual symbol and gave it his own spin, saying,
| “ | In designing the Bi Pride Flag, I selected the colors and overlap pattern of the "bi angles" symbol. | ” |
The deep pink or rose stripe at the top of the flag represents the possibility of same gender attraction; the royal blue stripe at the bottom of the flag represents the possibility of opposite gender attraction and the stripes overlap in the central fifth of the flag to form a deep shade of lavender or purple, which represents the possibility of attraction anywhere along the entire gender spectrum.
The flag's aspect ratio is not fixed but 2:3 and 3:5 are often used, in common with many other flags.
The exact colors given by the designer are: PMS 226, 258, and 286. (approximate HTML/RGB values: #D60270, #9B4F96, #0038A8)

Famous quotes containing the words design and/or colors:
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“[The Declaration of Independence] meant to set up a standard maxim for free society, which should be familiar to all, and revered by all; constantly looked to, constantly labored for, and even though never perfectly attained, constantly approximated, and thereby constantly spreading and deepening its influence, and augmenting the happiness and value of life to all people of all colors everywhere.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
