Historically, pink and lavender have also been used as queer color symbols.
In fiction, a queer character will often be associated with their pride flag colors to emphasize their sexuality or gender identity. These colors can show up in their physical appearance or outfits (which often shows they are proud to be themselves) or in more subtle cues like cinematography, lighting, or a specific ColorWash. For example, the trend of 'bisexual lighting', where bi characters are lit with blue, purple, and pink, arose in TheNewTens. This can be a meaningful way to express LGBT+ pride.
Compare QueerFlowers, when different flower species are used to symbolize queer love, and RainbowMotif.

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' the elven wizard Vaarsuvius, who has an AmbiguousGender and is confirmed non-binary through WordOfGay, is rather fond of the spell Prismatic Spray, which is visualized as a rainbow-colored ray of light. There's official artwork of V using this rainbow spell against a {{troll}}, with the caption "Just an ordinary picture of a wizard defeating a monster with a high level spell. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything No additional symbolism here, nope.]]" which hints at the character's LGBTQ affinity.
* Used as a VisualPun in the first syndicated ''Webcomic/RaeTheDoe'' strip, which has her introduce herself. In the last panel she points out that [[AnimalGenderBender does don't normally have antlers]] while winking; the background changes to the {{transgender}} pride flag colours.

* Mollymauk Tealeaf from ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' is bisexual, his outfit consist of shades of purple, red, and blue, and as a Tiefling, he has purple skin (which is admittedly a [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation rather rare color for the species]]).
* In WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's "Grading Cartoon Intros" episode, he interprets the rainbow color schemes in the ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'' title sequence as showing gay pride, compared to ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse,'' who Critic perceives as stuck in a TransparentCloset.
-->'''NC (as She-Ra)''': We even have rainbow-colored characters, because...we're not afraid to hide our pride over here. You're so deep in the closet, [[Music/TrappedInTheCloset you're tap dancing with R. Kelly.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'':
** The cab company Todd starts in season three, Cabracadabra, has a [[https://www.reddit.com/r/BoJackHorseman/comments/die4rj/i_just_noticed_that_todd_made_the_cabracadabra/ sign colored in purple, white, and black.]] At the end of the season, Todd realizes he's asexual, likely making this subtle {{foreshadowing}}.
** The sign at the asexual meet-up Todd attends in "Hooray, Todd Episode!" is white with a purple and black border.
* In the series finale of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', there's a shot of the sky in blue, purple, and pink [[spoiler:as Korra and Asami become an OfficialCouple. Both characters are also confirmed to be bisexual.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'': Marc Anciel (a PunnyName on the French word for rainbow, ''arc en ciel''), is a shy, quiet boy who has a rainbow-colored shirt and blushes around Nathaniel.
* The episode "Horn Sweet Horn" from ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016'' ends with the heart colored in pink, white, and blue rather than different shades of pink as normal, very reminiscent of the {{transgender}} flag. The episode (about a horse who wants to become a unicorn) was originally promoted as a transgender allegory; though WordOfGod would later claim this wasn't the case, there's no other reason for the flag to be colored that way.
* Enid from WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes, has a peace sign-shaped bi pride flag sticker on her bike helmet. [[spoiler:When Mr. Gar gives her a new bike, she immediately adds some stickers to it, including an identical sticker.]]
* Luz from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' is canonically bisexual, and [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/the-owl-house/images/4/47/Enchanting_Grom_Fright_Wallpaper.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200821001834 this neon promo poster]] for the Enchanting Grom Fright episode depicts her with pink, purple, and blue colors.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'' special "Back to Bortron 7", Jet sings a soft duet with his male friend Sean, and the colors in the song are all of the bisexual pride flag - pink, purple, and blue. They have a lot of ShipTease in the special, and in the show in general. Jet started out as AmbiguouslyBi, but after the show ended, he was [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/readyjetgo/images/2/2d/Screenshot_2020-06-13-21-10-25~2.png/revision/latest?cb=20200614011225 confirmed]] to be bisexual by Creator/CraigBartlett.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'', She-Ra's power is often associated with rainbows -- she and all the other Princesses are each associated with a certain color, and when they [[AllYourPowersCombined join forces and use their abilities in tandem]], they [[PowerGlows glow]] in their designated color and together make a huge rainbow. [[spoiler:The current She-Ra, Adora, is revealed to be in love with Catra, and finding out it's mutual [[ThePowerOfLove is what ultimately saves her life in the series finale]].]]

In fiction, a queer character will often be associated with their pride flag colors to emphasize their sexuality or gender identity. These colors can show up in their physical appearance or outfits (which often shows they are proud to be themselves) or in more subtle cues like cinematography, lighting, or a specific ColorWash. For example, the trend of 'bisexual lighting', where bi characters are lit with blue, purple, and pink, arose in TheNewTens. This can be a meaningful way to express LGBT+ pride.
Compare QueerFlowers, when different flower species are used to symbolize queer love, and RainbowMotif.
'''Note: Please limit examples to characters confirmed in the story or by WordOfGay to be queer.'''

** During her brief career as a freelance superhero, Karolina's costume consists of a white, pink, and magenta bodysuit, with the colors arranged in the style of the lesbian pride flag.
** Throughout issue #11, as Gert deals with her discomfort with how openly gay everyone seems to be since her resurrection, the colors pink, purple, and magenta keeps appearing in greater and greater quantities, including on people on the street (some of whom are queer-coded), in Molly's room at the hostel, and throughout Klara's [[HasTwoDaddies foster dads']] house (especially her bedroom and her clothes.) The same issue has Gert dying her signature purple hair back to its natural brown color.
* In ''ComicBook/TopTen'', Jackie "Phantom" Kowalski's costume is black, purple, and white, and has a upside-down triangle emblem that makes it vaguely reminiscent of the "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbian_flag#/media/File:Labrys_Lesbian_Flag.svg labrys flag]]" used by lesbians in the late nineties, when the series was written.

It is sung on a stage with the bi flag as a background and pink, purple, and blue lighting to fit. To a lesser extent, the lighting also associates it with the '80s, as the song is a MusicalPastiche of Music/HueyLewisAndTheNews.
* ''Series/QueerEye2018'': One of the establishing shots of the show has the Fab Five (who are all into men) walk across a rainbow crosswalk in Atlanta.
