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:
“For I choose that my remembrances of him should be pleasing, affecting, religious. I will love him as a glorified friend, after the free way of friendship, and not pay him a stiff sign of respect, as men do to those whom they fear. A passage read from his discourses, a moving provocation to works like his, any act or meeting which tends to awaken a pure thought, a flow of love, an original design of virtue, I call a worthy, a true commemoration.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Adultery is the vice of equivocation.
It is not marriage but a mockery of it, a merging that mixes love and dread together like jackstraws. There is no understanding of contentment in adultery.... You belong to each other in what together you’ve made of a third identity that almost immediately cancels your own. There is a law in art that proves it. Two colors are proven complimentary only when forming that most desolate of all colors—neutral gray.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
