The colors were inspired by the [[dyke]] flag and most common femme flag. The color meanings are as follows: Black - black history and black sapphic history, Purple - lesbian and sapphic history, love of women and non-men, sapphic power, Lavender - femininity, Light pink - femmeness, gender expression and/or gender non-conformity, unity, Pink - inclusivity of all sapphics, including trans, non-binary, mspec, aroacespec, and other sapphics, Magenta - breaking sapphic stereotpes. The symbol on the flag is the coiner's femme symbol, its represents femininity, strength, rebellion, and liberation
