While the colour orange is associated with the Netherlands, it does not appear on the national flag. It consists of 3 equally-sized horizontal bands of red, white and blue. The orange is associated with the royal family and their connections to the so-called House of Orange.

What does netherlnads flag represent?

When the Netherlands were overtaken by Spain, a flag that is much like their current one today was used. It was a horizontal tricolor of orange white and blue. The colors were chosen to represent the Prince of Orange's coat of arms. After the Dutch won their independence from the Spanish, it was taken over by France. The flag's design was kept the same, but the colors were changed to represent that mother nation. If you actually compare the flag of the Netherlands and the flag of France, you will notice the Netherlands' flag is a horizontal version of the French one.
