The phrase " beige fleur-de-lis " will dwell videos with millions of views on TikTok , but some masses are just hear the term for the first time . permit ’s talk about it !

Lately, the internet has been saturated with"beige flag"content.

So, if you are sitting there like, “Uhhhhh, what’s a beige flag???” Let’s dive in.

The term “beige flag” first surfaced over a year ago when TikToker@itscaitocoined it as a way of helping single people identify signs that someone might be really boring:

beige is the new bolshy and in other intelligence date apps are a wasteland 🚩 # hinge#redflags#datingredflags#hingedating

However, TikTokers have evolved the term to be used similarly to how red and green flags are marked in relationships. But unlike red flags or green flags, beige flags aren’t clear-cut “make it or break it” relationship warnings. They are more like mannerisms that make you pause and think, “Hmmm that’s a bit off. Not good, not bad, but odd.”

@cat.elizabethhas a perfect example of her boyfriend’s beige flag: He sets timers instead of alarms.

Like, there’s technically nothingwrongwith setting six-hour timers instead of alarms…BUT it is just a bit weird.

A lot of beige flags are universally understood — like user@naps_and_nursing, who will never get why her husband doesn’t asks for details in conversations:

Why are they all like this?!?#beigeflags#flags#couple#couplescomedy#couples#marriage#humour

Like, it’s not a red flag, but it’s also not a green flag. It certainly leans beige.

And you’ll start to notice that beige flags tend to be totally based on the individual’s perspective. Like@colecarterr, who says his girlfriend’s beige flag is always needing something sweet after dinner:

what s my beige flag @rachel beigeflag rum young man

Some people might think this is normal and not a beige flag at all:

Many beige flags seem to be quirks people have with only their partner, like user@ginaqueerious’s girlfriend, who communicates with her using noises and actions instead of words:

Honestly its cunning and i m here for it#wlw#lgbtq#beigeflag

And@brontecrawley’s boyfriend, who does a whole underwear performance when it’s time to retire one:

Ca n’t wait to wed this man.#boyfriendbeigeflag#beigeflag#relationships#datingaman

Even if some seem a bit much or over the top, people relate:

And honestly? A lot of the beige flagscouldbe classified as green flags. Like, user@liftswithleah, whose boyfriend wants to pay for things for her all the time:

he has so many beige flags idk where to start

Meaning that many beige flags actually mark signs of a healthy relationship.

Another example is@bitchybearz’s boyfriend, who randomly throws her surprise theme parties — his most recent was aPeppa Pigtheme:

i have no words#foryourpage#peppapig#couple#boyfriend#beigeflag#beigeflags#relationship#foryou#fyp

And@niyahurt’s partner’s beige flag could also be a green flag to some:

“ What ’s your deepeat regret ? ” … yet were surrounded by 50 multitude 😂 # fyp#beigeflag#couples#love

The truest of beige flags, though, are simple things a person does that are certainly not the norm but are also neither bad nor good:

he ’s both embarassing and adorable#beigeflags#boyfriend#relationship

The topic of beige flags has become so widespread that people on other social media platforms — like Twitter — are continuing to buzz about them.
