No but it is easy to make that mistake as Germany does have red and yellow next to each other on its flag

Level 49

It’s not yellow, it’s gold

Level 67

Jan 24, 2021

Wow. I'm German and I'm aware that we call it "Schwarz-Rot-Gold", but to argue that it's not yellow must be some sort of record, even for this page.

Level 35

Apr 7, 2021

you're right but fun fact: it's supposed to be gold instead of yellow. they couldn't make it gold because producing golden textile hasn't been possible apparently BUT when the flag is specifically described as black-red-gold in documents/samples or whatever they actually do put up a flag with something that looks like gold instead of yellow.

Level 34

Sep 24, 2021

Isn't gold just a specific shade of yellow?

is Cyprus' flag orange?

I like this series. Keep it up

Totally agree.

The Netherlands definitely have orange on their flag...

Level 72

Jan 30, 2019

You're joking, right?

Level 75

Feb 5, 2019

Probably not, especially if he's talking about this one.

I wish they still did. They don't anymore.

Level 37

Apr 30, 2019

Ben82192: Not on the national flag it doesn't. The Official Dutch flag is horizontal Red, White and Blue (as opposed to France, which is vertical Red, White and Blue). The Dutch Royal Standard has orange in it because the royal family is known as the House of "Oranje Nassau".

Level 50

Apr 30, 2019

The Netherlands used to have orange color in their flag but because of the orange dye that had faded a lot on flag fabrics and looked like a light red color, they decided to change the flag and replace the orange bar to the red one. It was long time ago and nowadays they could easily use more durable orange dye but the red remains.

Armenia has orange on its flag

Level 93

Feb 6, 2019

Personally, looking at it, I would say it was more yellow than orange. However, out of curiosity, I had a quick internet search and apparently the official colours (as per the Armenian government) state it is red, blue and orange...

+14

Level 69

Feb 8, 2019

I'm with Henning and Danny on this one. Sure, we all see a yellowy-orange kind of color looking at it, but if *Armenia* thinks and says it's orange – and most importantly, the stripe has a symbolic meaning that depends on it being orange – isn't that actually the most important criteria? I'm sure you've come across that seemingly odd (to us) socio-linguistic phenomena where different cultures have different perceptions of color classifications, like the languages that don't even have different words for, and therefore don't really differentiate between, say, blue and green. I therefore throw my support behind Orangemenia! 🇦🇲 (N.B. Oh, hey – it looks pretty darn orange on the flag emoji, actually…)

Level 75

Feb 8, 2019

Sorry everyone, I fixed the type-ins now, the changes are currently pending

Level 69

Feb 8, 2019

Thanks, Josh! Hopefully Quizmaster will agree to agree ;-)

Okay, if Armenia wrongly thinks that their flag has orange on it, then we will allow it. :)

FOTW Armenia

Apr 5, 2019

It's definitely orange.

Level 59

Feb 5, 2019

Is the Cyprus outline on its flag not orange?

Level 74

Feb 5, 2019

I'd agree, it's at least close enough

Level 69

Feb 8, 2019

Okay, I argued for Armenia, but I can't for Cyprus. The color country shape on Cyprus' flag is stated to symbolize the rich natural resource of copper on the island, so to me, that pretty clearly indicates they meant the color to be "copper", which is not the same as orange. Flags are all about symbolic meaning, so I think what should be paramount here, as I said in my previous comment, is how the countries themselves describe their flags. That's my 2¢ (in copper pennies)!

+15

Level 66

Apr 6, 2019

Thats like saying maroon isnt red or navy isnt blue. You could argue if coppercolored things are orange or brown though.

otherwise things will get out if control and people could say; my flag is tangerine, ivory, and emerald... etc

Level 30

Feb 15, 2020

But it’s still orange even if it is supposed to be copper unless your colourblind which in that situation I don’t know what to say

Level 75

Sep 18, 2021

By that logic, India doesn't belong here because the color for their flag is "saffron", and not orange. But that's clearly stupid. There might be some debate as to whether "copper" is more orange or brown, but there's a pretty fair argument for it being orange.

Level 93

Jul 24, 2021

Copper orange is a particular shade of orange, so yes, there is orange on the flag of Cyprus.

Level 63

Feb 21, 2019

The coat of arms of Mexico is part of it's official flag. There are tiny bits of orange in there.

Level 40

Apr 9, 2019

I'd say it's more of a yellow, unless there's some tiny bit of orange I'm not seeing.

Level 76

Apr 30, 2019

The eye of the eagle maybe?

Some versions i looked up have a color that's either orange or pretty close to it.

Nice to see that I'm not the only blind person who read 'old' instead of 'cold' :D

for capital city colder than moscow i wrote "ulan bator" instead of mongolia

Burned down a minute doing that until I realized COUNTRIES. NOT CAPITALS.

I tried many cities, starting with Oslo, Reykjavik, Ulan Bator and gave up when I couldn't find the answer.

Quizmaster, Armenia does not have orange on their flag.

According to the WHO 2019 statistics as quoted by Wikipedia, both Italy and Australia have a life expectancy of at least 83, and are ahead of some of the countries given in the answer.

Yes it does

You're not counting Ecuador (Spanish for Equator) as a country with some form of Equator in its name?

That is one of the two accepted answers

Level 63

I read 'older than Moscow' and went through the whole Middle East and got really frustrated, haha.

Level 55

Sep 19, 2021

shouldnt the us (puerto rico) and the uk (cayman islands) count as "in the greater antilles" ?

Level 42

Dec 2, 2021

Actually, not. It is the misconception that the territories/dependencies of the UK and US are parts of the countries, but no. They are legally not integral parts of those countries.

Level 24

Sep 21, 2021

Well- the flag on India cannot be accurately said to have orange in it. The actual color is saffron. Otherwise the quiz is a great one.

I almost missed colder than Moscow because I read it as "older"

Same here. Kept typing things like Greece, Iraq, China, etc... don't know how many of those are actually older, but definitely none of them are colder
