Summary: Information and example images, including color codes of the five and seven-stripe Lesbian Pride flags.
The word "lesbian" literally means resident of the island Lesbos and became synonymous with women who like women in reference to the island's most famous resident, Sappho, a female poet who wrote many love poems to other women around 600 BCE. Today, a lesbian is someone who experiences sexual or romantic attraction to other women or between women. The term normally applies to women; however, some nonbinary people also identify with this term.
There are multiple versions of the Lesbian Pride Flag, including the:
The seven-stripe version has been around since 2018 and was proposed as the new "lesbian flag for everyone" by Tumblr blogger Emily Gwen and currently seems to be the most widely recognized one. The Lesbian Pride flag has seven primary colors, dark orange, orange, light orange, white, pink, dusty pink, and dark rose. The chart further down the page lists the common and popular color codes of these colors in HEX, RGB and CMYK formats.
