Description of Beige Flag Expression

A 'beige flag' is used to describe a behavior or habit that is strange or unusual but doesn't deter someone from liking the person. Contrary to a red flag indicating danger or a green flag being positive, a beige flag is neutral. For example, phrases like 'see you later alligator' or not liking vegetables are seen as beige flags, prompting a pause in judgment about the person's qualities while not being disruptive.
