Basically somewhere in the middle between red and green
I would say religion don't care either way.

I thought these were called pink flags no?!

I think people are very much misunderstanding what a beige flag is and just listing things they can't stand.

As the OP says - a beige flag is things you're not really bothered about either way, not relationship dealbreakers that would put you off someone.

I took it to mean things that’d flag someone you’d find very boring.

If they’re things one is totally ambivalent about, surely no flag is needed and it’s just a normal thing? 😂 In which case, we should all be able to list hundreds of things.

Dog owner
Hiker/mountaineer/outdoorsy types
Anyone who asks me for coffee on a 1st date
Police officer

ditto to these almost exactly except I don't mind people who like the outdoors as long as they don't wear the cringey gear. If they start getting out a flask I'm off😬

I've just done some googling and discovered that there are red flags, black flags, blue flags etc. An "orange flag" means something a bit less serious than a red flag. I was hoping it meant something to do with Trump but I guess that would be a red flag.

Getting too obsessive about it would be a beige flag, I think, so I'll stop there.
