The Dutch flag is features three equal horizontal bands of red (top), white, and blue; similar to the flag of Luxembourg, which uses a lighter blue and is longer; the colors were those of WILLIAM I, Prince of Orange, who led the Dutch Revolt against Spanish sovereignty in the latter half of the 16th century; originally the upper band was orange, but because it tended to fade to red over time, the red shade was eventually made the permanent color; the banner is perhaps the oldest tricolor in continuous use and is presented above.

The National symbol of Netherlands is lion.

The National anthem of Netherlands is ""Het Wilhelmus" ("The William")" which was composed by Adrianus Valerius.
