What color(s) or color combination(s) do you associate with autism?

Maybe this could inspire a new flag for autism.

I'm also a bit interested in the way the colors would be presented in an possible flag.

Personally I associate autism with dark blue combined with white stripes.

A fast photoshop I made of my idea:

Turquoise, black, and ocher.
never heard of ocher..
I agree with kalahari Meekrat when he says the logo gets mixed up with the gay rights thing. Also the "puzzle piece" logo is also in assorted colors like a rainbow. So I think we should get away from the whole rainbow scene, but thats just me.

It's sort of like the color of your sig, but lighter.

Yeah, we should go for colors that have deeper meaning; not colors that just happen to be related to a word we often use.

I don't know which color we should choose for this idea (I tend towards red, blue, or green), but it was my thought that we could still represent "spectrum" in a monochrome instead of a rainbow, with the darkest color on one side, lightening to the other side.
And we could still toss in a symbol as well.
Red = passion

Orange = enthusiasm, desire and playfulness

Thought about 'white = respect' but I don't think that is appropriate if it isn't a common thing among autistic.

Why did I suddenly think purple when making the photoshop?
The last picture kind of reminds me of soviet propoganda.
The key reminds me too much of a puzzle piece (e.g. something which needs to fit in).
Could be converted to something more positive. That the key can fit in somewhere and is not meant to be changed.


I made this with the idea that a linear spectrum can exist, but it's more complex than think it is.
I like the rainbow moebius strip.
