The Netherlands - Oranje

🧡 Hup Holland Hup! 🧡 In Dutch, "Oranje" means orange. The Netherlands embraces orange as its national color and often uses the word Oranje to describe the royal family (the House of Orange-Nassau), the national sports teams, and massive country-wide celebrations. This deep cultural affection for the color traces back to the 16th century and the country's founding figure, William of Orange (Willem van Oranje).
