Flag of Luxembourg

🎨 What the flag means

Luxembourg's flag has three stripes: red, white and light blue. The colours come from the country's old coat of arms, which shows a red lion on blue and white stripes. There is no official meaning for each colour. The flag looks almost like the Dutch flag, but Luxembourg's blue is lighter and its flag is longer.
