The origin of the ‘beige flag’ appears to be from a TikToker
- The term ‘beige flag’ dates back to 2022, but it’s become increasingly popular on TikTok nowadays.
- Users are using it to endearingly expose their partners’ odd and otherwise random behavioral traits.
- One person described the term to Insider as something between a red and a green flag.
Social media has become an obsessive place to dissect “red” and “green” flags in prospective partners – sometimes almost losing any meaning, where any trait can be labeled great or alarming.
