Luxembourg flag

Luxembourg's national flag is a horizontal tricolor of red, white, and light blue. It can have a 1:2 or 3:5 aspect ratio. The flag was used for the first time between 1845 and 1848, but it was not formally adopted until 1993. In Luxembourgish, the flag is known colloquially as “rout, wäiß, blo,” which translates as “red, white, [light] blue.”

Prior to 1830, Luxembourg lacked an official flag. However, the national colors were later shown to demonstrate patriotism. The flag's design, with red, white, and light blue colors, is based on the House of Luxembourg's coat of arms. The flag is nearly identical to the Dutch flag, with the exception that it is taller and the light blue and red stripes are lighter in color.
