Flag color edit

Why is the flag is orange? I think it might be because of dutch influence (House of Orange-Nassau), but I can't confirm that. The article doesn't mention flag/color at all, but this page does say that orange flag is used as a symbol of christian democracy. — 185.115.7.51 (talk) 23:52, 28 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

I know from various sources that Christian Democrats in Germany were associated with black, and that Christian Democrats in Italy were associated with white. I could see the link to the Dutch influence, but I am also aware Orange has been seen as Protestant for that exact reason. The Reuchamps citation on Political colour - Wikipedia, notes the colour link in Belgium, but doesn't say much else. DishevelledD (talk) 02:01, 17 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
