The Irish flag (tricolor) has equal sections of Green, White and Orange.
GREEN: The left third of Ireland’s flag is green. A color associated with the Irish republic.
ORANGE: The right third of the Irish flag is orange. Orange is the color chosen by the Protestant British Unionists.
WHITE: Between these two opposing forces, represented by orange and green, lies the color white. White is the color of peace and purity. When Ireland’s flag was created, white was chosen as the central color to represent a lasting truce and hope for peace between the two sides. It represents the ideal that every person has a part in Ireland, regardless of political stance, religion, or ethnicity.
