The flag is based on the color of faded platinum, as well as being the color normally associated with being in between [[Man|male]] and [[Woman|female]]. The symbol used is the first alchemical symbol for platinum. The reason platinum was chosen is because platinum was originally called "white gold" and was seen as a combination of gold ([[aur]]) and silver ([[aren]]). |
