The flag if Belgium and The Netherlands ever united

  1. what about Luxembourg 🙁 *starts shouting*: Benelux.. Benelux. .BENELUX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Also, the Seychelles will not be happy with this…

  2. Not sure if this is due to compression or what, but your colours are wrong:

    * The Belgian red and Dutch red are [not the same](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_Netherlands_and_Belgium.svg) colours.

    * The proposed red (#D5282A) is neither Belgian (#EF3340) nor Dutch (#AD1028) red. If you were to propose a single one, I’d suggest a literal average (#EE2940).

    * The proposed yellow (#F8DF53) is not the Belgian yellow (#FDDA24).

    * The proposed blue (#224788) is not the Dutch blue (#1E4989).

    * The proposed white (#FFFFFE) is not the Dutch white (#FEFFFE).

    You got the black right though.

  3. And all three French colors right there for you as well (yes, I understand the different shades). Fun fact – did you know that among all UN flags there is only one that does not share any color with the French? >!Jamaica.!<

  4. Honest to god wouldnt mind these 2 merging (not that i’m pro NL or anything but just the thought of unification under one system)

  5. It’s funny how r/belgium’s opinion on NL/BE uniting seems to be different every day, haha.

  6. Pretty flag.
    In that scenario would Wallonia be an isolated french speaking minority province from this new dutch country?
    Or would wallonian people need to separate from it and go with France?

  7. I would honestly prefer this over Flanders becoming independent.
    The colours works for Flanders joining Holland too I guess.

  8. I still feel as having more in common with Wallonia than the upper part (“boven de rivieren”) of the Netherlands. And I’m saying this as a Belgian by naturalisation (since 1997) who’s origins are in Noord-Brabant.
    But IF this would happen, we could do far worse than this flag.
