Panromantic Pride Flag
Identity Pride Flag ·
A 2016 panromantic flag published by the Pride-Flags archive without an individual designer credit. The design lightens the pansexual flag's magenta, yellow, and cyan field around a full-height heart; it is distinct from an earlier four-stripe panromantic design published in 2015. [1][2][3]

Publisher and high-resolution rendering source
A DeviantArt archive of pride flag artwork, run with moderators including Mod Hermy and Mod Kat. It published Panromantic (5) on 10 May 2016 at 5000 by 3000 pixels with no designer credit, and had earlier published a four-stripe Panromantic (1) on 3 September 2015. [1][3][4]
Attribution notes
The designer is unknown. The deviation defines the prefix Pan- and names no designer. [1] Pride-Flags published the file and supplied the high-resolution rendering. The project FAQ identifies Mod Hermy as an account moderator and uploader rather than as the designer of this flag, so no design credit is recorded for that account. [4]

Two panromantic designs from this account are distinct artifacts. "Panromantic (1)" of 3 September 2015 is a four-stripe design whose page publishes stripe meanings and identifies the file as a Mod Kat edit sourced from pride-flags-for-us; it displays a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence. [3] "Panromantic (5)" of 10 May 2016 is the heart design covered by this record and displays no such licence. [1] The account's underlying Pan- (1) design was published 4 July 2015. [5]
Lineage
- Direct predecessors
- Pansexual Pride Flag
The pansexual flag is the visual source: the saturated values inside the heart are its palette, and the heart is the archive's romantic-orientation convention added on top. [2] The four-stripe Panromantic (1) of 2015 is a separate earlier design for the same identity rather than an ancestor of this one. [3]

Colors & Symbolism
The heart is the romantic marker: the field is lightened outside it and the bands keep their saturated values inside it. The deviation publishes no stripe-by-stripe symbolism. [1][2]
| Colour | Hex | Meaning | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magenta | #FF218C | No creator-issued meaning has been located for this band on the 2016 deviation. [1] | Saturated inside the heart. The same band measures #FF90C6 in the lightened field outside it. These hexadecimal values are exact measurements from the cited 5000 by 3000 source PNG. They document that artifact rather than a creator-issued color specification. [2] |
| Yellow | #FFD800 | No creator-issued meaning has been located for this band on the 2016 deviation. [1] | Saturated inside the heart. The same band measures #FFEC80 in the lightened field outside it. These hexadecimal values are exact measurements from the cited 5000 by 3000 source PNG. They document that artifact rather than a creator-issued color specification. [2] |
| Cyan | #21B1FF | No creator-issued meaning has been located for this band on the 2016 deviation. [1] | Saturated inside the heart. The same band measures #90D8FF in the lightened field outside it. These hexadecimal values are exact measurements from the cited 5000 by 3000 source PNG. They document that artifact rather than a creator-issued color specification. [2] |
- Centered heart
- The romantic-orientation marker used across the archive's 10 May 2016 batch, applied as a saturation mask rather than an opaque overlay. [2]
The 2016 heart design inherits the pansexual flag's palette but its deviation gives no separate stripe-by-stripe symbolism. [1] The earlier four-stripe Panromantic (1) of 3 September 2015 does publish meanings, and those belong to that design alone: red and blue for romantic attraction to binary women and men, orange for attraction to genders outside and between the binary, and green for attraction to genderless and gender-neutral people. That file is identified on its page as a Mod Kat edit with its flag source linked. [3]
Three bands, each measured twice from the 5000 by 3000 source PNG: saturated inside the heart at #FF218C, #FFD800 and #21B1FF, and lightened outside it at #FF90C6, #FFEC80 and #90D8FF. The saturated set is the pansexual flag's palette. [2] The separate 2015 four-stripe design measures #0BA9F4, #86CE00, #FF9826 and #FF2662 top to bottom and is a different artifact. [3]

Common misidentifications
- The 2016 heart design and the 2015 four-stripe design are separate artifacts with different palettes, different licences and different documentation, and are often treated as one flag. [1][3]
The deviation defines the prefix rather than the romantic term itself: "Pan- Feeling attraction to all genders and/or regardless of gender." [1]
