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)
- 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)
- Indeed, German CDU had Orange for a couple of years. May there be a connection to "Orange Revolutions"? By now, it seems, the CDU has changed its color to turquoise - as their Austrian counterpart OeVP. But in diagrams both are, mostly at least, black.
- The Bavarian CSU is sometimes exposed as blue, so that it can be distinguished from the black CDU.
- Since AfD (blue, as its Austrian counterpart FPOe - and in earlier times also the German F.D.P.) has been established, this may be more difficult....
- To make it more complicated, the formerly black (what else, as a Catholic party) Centre Party has been using Blue, since Black had been taken over by CDU/CSU.... MarcoLitz (talk) 15:14, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
