Beige Flag
Stable🌍UniversalDefinition
A trait in a partner that isn't good (green flag) or bad (red flag) but is just... weird or quirky. Neutral-strange behavior that makes you pause but isn't a dealbreaker.
Translation for Parents
Red flags are bad, green flags are good, and beige flags are just... weird. Like if someone organizes their bookshelf by color instead of author. Not alarming, just odd. Your spouse probably has several. (You do too. We all do.)
Examples
“His beige flag is that he narrates everything he does in third person”
“His quirky-but-not-bad trait is that he narrates his own actions out loud”
“Beige flag: she claps when the plane lands”
“It's a bit weird that she claps when the plane lands, but it's not a dealbreaker”

Safe to use
The flag system is universally understood. You can discuss beige flags at dinner parties and people will jump right in with their own. It's a conversation starter disguised as slang.
