The green and yellow gender neutral flag was created by enbygsrd in August 2016.<ref>https://pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com/post/149053253340/gender-neutral-neutral-gender</ref> The color meaning is unknown but green is likely used as it is very commonly associated with neutrois and other neutral genders. Yellow is likely used because it is commonly associated with non-binary genders, particularly abinary genders.
Another common flag is a yellow and purple flag. This flag has an unknown creator. It was created at least before August 16, 2016.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Gender-Neutral-Neutral-Gender-628496785?ga_submit_new=10%253A1471391782</ref> Yellow is likely used to represent non-binary genders, and purple represents a mix of woman and man, another common non-binary color.
An alternate neutral flag was created on December 22, 2020 by Tumblr user imoga-pride.<ref>https://imoga-pride.tumblr.com/post/638255511506124800/neutral-null-positive-negative-based-on</ref> It is based on the feminine and masculine flags.
Another alternate flag was created by kirbirb on January 7, 2021. The color meaning is unknown.

▲Neutral is often confused with [[androgynous]] possibly due to the terms being used interchangably in society. Where neutral is a term describing being neither masculine or feminine, androgynous is a mixture of both masculine and feminine.
