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:
“What but design of darkness to appall?—
If design govern in a thing so small.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“All our Concord waters have two colors at least; one when viewed at a distance, and another, more proper, close at hand.... Walden is blue at one time and green at another, even from the same point of view. Lying between the earth and the heavens, it partakes of the color of both.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
