Orange fever
Every once in a while the entire country turns orange. This might sound strange, because the colours of the national flag are red, white and blue – so no orange at all. But the love for orange can easily be explained by the fact that it’s the official colour of the Dutch royal family. The biggest display of orange national pride probably occurs on the King’s birthday, but also during major Dutch sports events. Literally everything turns orange: people, houses, shops, cars and even entire streets!
