Quick— What are the colors of the Pride flag? 

I've been commissioned to do a banner to be flown during Pride here in Seattle, and I'm trying to decide what variation of the Pride flag to implement. We're all familiar with the six-stripe design, but I've also seen an eight-stripe design gain traction, and there have been several other interesting variations, each trying to accomplish goals both symbolic and practical.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

@ElectricKeet Woah, I hadn't known the original meanings of the colors! That's pretty rad.

@ElectricKeet

Reading this article, I'd say 'a rainbow' is the important indicator, more than the number of stripes, so... go for the full 8. :-D
