The Greyromantic flag by lesbiandoe
Greyromantic (also spelled Grayromantic) describes those who experience romantic attraction with a lesser frequency, or with a lesser intensity, than would be considered average for an alloromantic person. People with a greyromantic identity come to feel a sense of relatedness to the aromantic spectrum due to this discrepancy.
Alternate Greyromantic flag made by Angel
Common traits of Greyromanticism include:
- Experiencing romantic attraction infrequently.
- Experience romantic attraction weakly.
- Feeling romantic attraction but not desiring a romantic relationship.
- Feeling unsure about how to identify romantic attraction
- Experiencing attraction that is only ambiguously romantic.
- Feeling alienated from romance.
- Feeling attraction only in specific circumstances.
Greyromantic can be an orientation in and of itself, or in combined with other romantic orientations e.g. grey-homoromantic. Greyromantic can also sometimes be used as an umbrella term for any aro-spec identity that is not purely aromantic.
The sexual counterpart of greyromantic is greysexual.

Flag[]
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]
Another alternate greyromantic flag made by Nyoomster in the LGBTA+ Wiki discord
The second flag was coined by Angel on December 3rd, 2020. The darker shades representing occasional attraction, the mid-way shades represent being on the aro spectrum, the lightest shades represent feeling no romantic attraction, and the white represents community.
The third flag was proposed by Apollo on November 21st, 2020. The stripes do not have any meaning, but go from green to gray as a reference to the aromantic flag and spectrum.
On June 28, 2021, another flag was submitted by Nyoomster on the LGBTA+ wiki discord. Nyoomster's flag was intended to recapture the feeling which comes with being in a grey zone, signalled by the grey boarders surrounding the green colors of the aro spectrum. This iteration of the flag uses slightly lighter and refined shades of green to hint at the uncertainty which may come from being greyromantic, as well as giving it a more cohesive and modernistic look.
