Beige flags
As part of the newest trend, pinning down what a beige flag is is slightly more tricky. From the perspective of the author, a beige flag is a quality of a partner that may appear odd but is at the same time quite endearing.
Beige flags are distinct to the other coloured flags by not necessarily being a good or bad quality.
Examples:
Green flags
Green flags in a relationship are positive signs that indicate a healthy and fulfilling connection. They are the little things that make you feel lucky to have found such a great partner.
Examples:
Red flags
On the contrary, red flags are the opposite to green and are things that should be avoided in potential partners.
A red flag in a relationship is a warning sign that something might not be quite right. It’s like a little voice in your head saying, “Hey, pay attention to this!” Red flags can indicate potential issues or behaviors that could be harmful to the relationship or to your well-being.

These red flags are just warning signs or a bit of fun. Keep your sense of humor intact, but trust your gut; If something feels off, it probably is. Relationships should be filled with love, laughter, and a few playful jokes, not a routine of red flags.
