AroAceAge spectral 5 flag (OYGBI)

Here is the sunset AAA flag. This is my simplest spectral triple-A (Aromantic Asexual Agender) flag. This variant is also called the OYGBI (Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo) flag, which consists of the center of the rainbow spectrum minus red and violet.

For those aroaceages (aromantic asexual agenders) out there - kick the sunset aroace flag up a notch to the sunset aroaceage flag with perfectly balanced agender green to show all your colors seemlessly. The chromatic flow communicates the Aromantic, Asexual and Agender spectrums simultaneously.

Below is a more pastel version of the spectral AAA / OYGBI flag:

And below is the bolder more saturated form.

¡Agender Spec Flags! ¡Happy Pride month Agender Avengers!

I tried to design as many agender focused multi-identity flags as I could for pride month. These all have 7 stripes margined in black or darker colors. The first AAA (Agender Aromantic Asexual) vertical row was mostly designed by others (FormicaRufa and aro-ace-agender-space have their lovely AAA flags included).

I tweaked a popular unattributed AAA sunset flag to have more equidistantly related colors (like the spectral flag) and have been calling it the "Green Flash Sunset" flag.

The "Green Flash" is an amazing atmospheric phenomenon occasionally seen at sunrise or sunset where one can glimpse a momentary brilliant flash of spectral green light. This extra-special flash and color balance tweak evolves the Aroace Sunset flag into the AroAceAgender Green Flash Sunset flag. The name was just too fitting not to use. This same effect is more fluidly seen in both the Spectral and Tertiary AAA flags where the colors blend seemlessly without white separations.

The Greenscale AAA flag and AroAceAgenderSpace's AAA flag use traditional Agender, Aromantic & Asexual colors for those who prefer established traditional color symbolism.

Other flags I am proud of here are the AroAge(agearo), AgeAce (aceage), Anonbinary, Agenderqueer and Transagender flags. They were fun to make! Feel free to use them if they work for you.

Please don't forget the "A" in LGBTQIA! "A" stands for Agender, Aromantic & Asexual, not ally. We A-specs are here and part of the community! Again, have a wonderful pride month!

Spectral rainbows! My rainbow flags nearly always have an infrared stripe above and ultraviolet stripe below. When looking at real rainbows I often see a hazy extension of color fading off either side corresponding to these categories. If you focus you will see it, but cameras display it much better. These electromagnetic wavelengths are just as real as the typical visual spectrum and offer a more complete picture. In most designs they appear near-black or dark red and dark violet, but I have occasionally drawn them as lighter desaturated versions of red & violet.

The rainbow traditionally has 7 spectral colors - Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo and Violet (ROYGBIV). Of these 3 are primary (red, yellow, blue), 3 are secondary (orange, green, violet), & 1 is tertiary (indigo). Neutral green divides the warm and cool colors.

12 striped rainbow (primary+secondary+tertiary colors)

An expanded 12 striped rainbow gives all tertiary colors equal representation including one color that is not found in the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) and is only seen by mixing light frequencies - Magenta. Since magenta isn’t part of the EMS it can go on either end of the rainbow.

The 12 colors are: Magenta, Red, Vermilion, Orange, Amber, Yellow, Lime, Green, Cyan, Blue, Indigo & Violet.

If we add IR & UV we get the full spectrum rainbow below.

I moved magenta to the bottom here so green remains near the middle for visual balance. 14 stripes is quite a lot, but makes for a lovely color gradient.

Remember to expand your rainbows. There is always more than meets the eye. 🌈
