Flag comparisons
Luxembourg’s lighter-blue tricolour
Luxembourg’s flag has horizontal red, white and light-blue bands. The colours are drawn from the country’s heraldic tradition, while the lighter lower band is an important visual difference from the Netherlands’ red-white-blue flag.
The two flags share a similar arrangement, but Luxembourg’s proportions and blue shade are distinct. The colour difference is easiest to see in official specifications or when the flags are displayed side by side.

About historical flags
Vexilla's historical flag collection includes former flags associated with present-day countries and territories, as well as flags of states, empires, and other authorities that historically governed them.
A flag's inclusion in a country's historical collection does not necessarily mean that the country was independent at the time or that the flag was its own national flag.
The years shown are based on historical records in the dataset and do not always indicate the date of official adoption. The collection is not exhaustive, and historical usage, territorial coverage, and interpretations may vary.
