Trivia: What does the orange color on Ireland’s flag represent?
Hope
Peace
Catholics
Protestants
The correct answer is Protestants
So why is this answer correct? : Introduced in 1848, the Irish flag represents the often fraught religious history of the country. It features three vertical color stripes: green, symbolizing Irish Catholics, and orange, representing Irish Protestants, which make up a much smaller percentage of the population. The stripe of white in the middle represents hope for lasting peace between the two.
