Luxembourg's flag was authoritatively adopted in 1993, although it has been used since 1848. It is a tricolor with three horizontal bands of equivalent size: red , white and light blue, Flag of Luxembourg. The flag's design is almost indistinguishable from that of the Netherlands flag, although the blue and red colors on Luxembourg's flag are lighter in shade. The colors on the flag follow their origin to the House of Luxembourg's emblem.
