I don't know if this is the official colour meanings, but it is one some use:

Red represents community, as it is traditionally a color of leadership, life, and sensitivity.

Orange represents lith-ness, as it does on a version of the aro flag.

Yellow represents our varied relationships, also as it does on on the mentioned aro flag. Yellow traditionally represents friendship, loyalty, and honor.

White represents romanticism and sexuality.

Black represents aromanticism and asexuality.

DEFINITION

Lithromantic (also called akoiromantic) is someone who may experience romantic attraction but does not want it reciprocated. The lithromantic person may be uncomfortable at the thought of someone being romantically attracted to them, or they may lose their romantic feelings if they learn it's reciprocated.

Some things lithromantics may experience:

•Feeling romantic attraction that fades upon being reciprocated.

•Fantasizing about being in a romantic relationship with someone, but preferring the relationship in theory rather than in reality.

•Feeling discomfort when being in a romantic relationship with one they're romantically attracted to.

•Experiencing romantic attraction but not wanting it reciprocated.

•Feeling romantically attracted to someone, but losing interest in the potential partner/relationship when it becomes a reality.

The sexual counterpart to lithromantic/akoiromantic is lithosexual/akoisexual.
