Although the aromantic flag can be used to represent the aromantic spectrum, many flags have been created to represent all aro-spec individuals, not just focusing on those who are purely aromantic.
The first proposed aromantic/aromantic spectrum flag was
#Orange, symbolizing lithromanticism▼
#Black, representing a variety of people who fall within a grey-aromantic range; those who experience romantic attraction but reject normative romantic culture; and those who experience romantic attraction in non-normative ways.▼
* Green, symbolizing aromanticism because it's the opposite of red, the most commonly associated romance color.
According to the creator, other flags were circulating at the time as well.▼
* Yellow, symbolizing platonic love because yellow roses represent friendship.

The most well-known flag was created by Tumblr user theflagarchive on August 6, 2020.<ref>[{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://theflagarchive.tumblr.com/post/625679778293350400/aromantic-spectrum-flag-as-requested-and-as-ive theflagarchive on Tumblr: Aromantic spectrum flag!}}]</ref> The flag's color meanings are as follows: Dark green represents aromanticism in all forms. This includes full-aromanticism, demiromanticism, greyromanticism, and so on. Light green represents diversity in attraction and experiences, recognition of the aro-spectrum, and of other experiences within the community. Light yellow represents the aromantic community and it’s history. A yellow stripe has been a staple of many aro flags, such as some older aro flags, the [[Aromantic Allosexual|alloaro]] flag, and the [[aroace]] flag, so it’s been in the community for a very long time. Furthermore, yellow flowers are often a symbol of non-romantic love. Teal represents pride in one's identity, self acceptance and acceptance of others, and solidarity, with both other aros and with other [[A-Spec|aspecs]]. Dark teal represents recognition that aro-specs are they own separate identity, not just part of asexuality. They are not a modifier, and are a fully independent identity that can be used with other labels, or used entirely on it’s own.
