Luxembourg had no flag until 1830, when patriots were urged to display the national colors. The flag was defined as a horizontal tricolour of red, white, and blue in 1848, but it was not officially adopted until 1972. The tricolour flag is almost identical to that of the Netherlands, except that it is longer and its blue stripe is a lighter shade. The red, white, and blue colours were derived from the coat of arms of the House of Luxembourg.
