>>510271140Germany is black this color standard dates back to the 1800s/1700s and its black because of the flag of Prussia who conquered the lands that formed Germany with the German empire flag being black white and red not grey white and red
Austria is white youโre correct I forgot about them since they exploded during WW1 in a dozen revolutions by all the ethnicities inside the empire
England is purple because of the royal purple of the Brit monarchy
Itโs sometimes associated with red too from redcoats
Italy is green from the flag of the cisalpine republic which later became the symbol of Italian nationalism and unification
Spain is more associated with red than with yellow especially when you look at their old flag(monarchic heraldry). Plus Belgium definitely is yellow so you canโt have two nations with the same color. If you ignore Belgium then Spain can be yellow
Portugal's flag was different before a revolution they had recently (early 20th century?) their new flag looks disgusting and a lot of Portuguese people agree before the colors of Portugal were white and cyan. Idk why you would say yellow for Portugal it seems to come out of nowhere
Netherlands is orange from the orange dynasty, they were the rulers of the county/(duchy?) of orange in France which is a tiny place and where oranges came from (afair a European cross breeding of Chinese mandarines), so the dynasty is named after the color, the color is named after the fruit and the fruit is named after the province
both their flag and the flag of Belgian colonies were prominently yellow
As for Russia, they donโt really have a color, their current flag is just a humiliation ritual (they didnโt have a flag in the modern era and had to modify Dutch flags), they had a nice gold black and yellow flag but they abandonned it, they also had the Soviet Union red and yellow flag, They had uniforms of all colors, and nowadays they associate with the orange and black ribbon
