Why isn't the Dutch Flag Orange?

William of Orange. Orange tulip fields. Footballers playing in orange. No colour is more associated with the Netherlands, so it might come as a surprise that it does not appear on its flag. But once upon a time it did, and it was the standard that the top stripe of the horizontal tricolour was an orange rather than a red. What caused this to change?

    • Part of the reason why the current Dutch flag looks like so many others is because the others took over parts of the Dutch flag design. And as stated in the video, the color orange is associated with the house of Orange. The house of Orange throughout history hasn't been a neutral or objective party. Not all of their actions are on the right side of history.

    • @@gijsvanderlogt9652 I've learned some Dutch, having learned German as a kid and clearly being a native English speaker (but I'm not English, I'm Welsh, just to confuse matters LOL). I've found Dutch easier than German for some reason. There are a lot of similarities in many Dutch words to both English and German - often they're sort of halfway between the two. Structurally as well as with the vocab, it's pretty close to English. Once you can read Dutch, guessing the meanings of new words isn't too hard. It's just that bit closer than German. (I know, I've been told not to compare Dutch and German. My Dutch aunty - who was one of my favourite ones - said it wouldn't go down well. She's one of the reasons that I decided to learn the language, though she passed some years ago.) I currently live in E Anglia (not too far from Harwich as the crow (seagull?) flies), which is the bit of England which sticks out into the North Sea just north of London, so I'm actually closer to you than to my home country! Should I ever decide to get a new passport (though I'm tempted to do it asap just so that I can have a European Union design on it LOL), my ambition is to pop over the sea and visit the Netherlands (yes, I know the difference between Holland and the Netherlands ;-)) I still think I should learn a bit more of the language before I come over though. I don't want to be one of _those_ tourists who depend on the locals to speak English. Though most Dutch people I've met speak it better than many Brits I know. Sigh... HTH :-)

  • Actually, the Dutch flag of today is not the same as the Statenvlag. The difference is that the flag of today has a more darker blue. This came around the Napoleonic times. The blue became darker for the navy of the Batavian Republic. But in the Batavian flag there was also a small painting in the corner. When The Netherlands became the Kingdom of Holland, under rule of king Louis Bonaparte (brother of Napoleon Bonaparte), the flag became the same as the flag of today. Despite that the Orange family came back as a royal family, they kept the flag with darker blue.

The new one is the most boring flag on the planet -- it doesn't stand out, but disappears in the background, just like "new" Dutch culture.

Just keep the flag, and show that countries can move on from racism. Which sounds better?: "We had apartheid, but we got rid of it and changed our flag because we want to erase our past." or "Sure, we had apartheid, but we changed.

  • Dear Hilbert, watching this video full of historic ships and naval battles made me think of one of my favourite things to portray, the raid on the Medway. As a proud Dutchman this glorious victory is of course very pleasing to me. Now I was wondering how you feel about the raid on the Medway as you are sort of in between so to say. Kind regards, a fan from Staats Brabant.

  • Heel gaaf om te zien dat je onze taal ook representeert dat is redelijk uniek! It’s truly a delight to hear some spoken Dutch in between your video. Your videos provide an awesome opportunity to learn some more about the Dutch history, if we were more resilient and stood a bit stronger against the British and other enemies of the golden age- gouden eeuw then our language may have been THE language instead of English

  • I think another factor in flag colors over the course of history is how easy is it to make a color, and how well does it stand up to weathering. Orange is not the easiest dye to make, and it fades quickly when weathered. So those orange-white-blue flags in the ship paintings could be older weathered flags that used to be red-white-blue. The least effected colors by weathering are red and blue.

  • It was really interesting. What is more interesting is that the Dutch arrived in 1652 in South Africa. The first Republic flag of South Africa was based on the Prinse vlag and we even had a province called the Orange Freestate. Before South Africa became a union this province was actually a Republic on it's own.

  • Great video, and greetings from New York (formerly New Amsterdam; a Dutch colony). We still retain the orange, white, and blue flag for our state... in fact our sports teams often use those colors on their uniforms (Mets, Giants, Islanders). Streets, rivers, boroughs, and neighborhoods still retain Dutch names (Brooklyn = Breuklen, Staten Island = Staaten Eylandt, Yonkers = Jonkheers, as well as Nassau County, Long Island). American culture owes so much to Dutch influence, and it’s unfortunate how few Americans realize it.

  • From what I gather from my colleagues (history teachers) a big part of the choice for red was also price. Red ink/fabric was also a lot cheap to acquire/make and the colour lasted longer. Aside from the whole point you make. Since many had to be made and we Dutchmen like to pay less if possible. It seems probable reason once a centralised government was formed.

The only thing that i missed in this vid ( i know its not the same time-period, butt given the history its importent to notice ), is the mentioning off the officially banning of the Prinschenflag from state and royal buildings in the Netherlands, late 1930's. Wilhelmina banned this flag becausse the Dutch naziparty NSDAP used this flag to atract nationalist Dutch people. In stead off telling the truth bout the flag, she banned itt...... Nowadays the Prinsenflag is still banned from showing on or in the public areas off goverment buildings. Vids like this whill help to spread the truth, thnx for that and iam looking forward to new vids! De mazzel!
