Why do the Dutch wear orange?

The dutch royal family is the house of Orange. Hence the colour.\n\n"The Dutch flag's original colors were orange, white and blue, but were changed to red, white and blue in the 17th century. The latter and most recent colors were taken from the Orange-Nassau coat of arms. But the orange color has been secured in relation to the Dutch Royal house: an orange streamer is flown above the flag during national holidays."

The House of Orange-Nassau is what the Dutch Kingdom is based on and has played a significant role in the political life of the Netherlands since William 1 of Orange (also known as William the Silent) organized the Dutch revolt against Spanish rule which after the Eighty Years War lead to an independent Dutch State.\n\n\nSeveral members of the house served during this war and after as governor or stadtholder (Dutch stadhouder). However, in 1815, after a long period as a republic, the Netherlands became a monarchy under the House of Orange-Nassau.\n\nThe dynasty was established as a result of the marriage between Hendrik III of Nassau-Breda from Germany and Claudia of Châlon-Orange from French Burgundy. Their son René of Châlon first adopted the new family name "Orange-Nassau". William I was his nephew and successor.\n\nIn the late 17th century, the family also supplied a British monarch, King William III who is credited with causing the Glorious Revolution. Orangemen around the world still celebrate his endeavors every year in a colourful, although sometimes controversial, Orange Order folk festival commonly called "The Twelfth". Some members of the Orange Order also belong to various outlawed loyalist paramilitary/terrorist groups in Northern Ireland.

Some Irish people still do not wear green. Green is the color related to Caltholism and England, which some Irish consider imposing. Orange is Protestant and Southern Ireland. While the fighting still goes on, its largely political. The Irish flag literally means, green-catholic, orange, protestant, and white a dream of a unified day.

Blue is for Japanese Kingdom Color. Same as Dutch wearing the  Orange.

I think it is both. Their pants are a little large for faster dressing and undressing so the suspenders keep them up. Red is a bright enough color to be seen in smoke because I doubt any would want to wear orange.

I married a Dutchman and my brother married an Italian, so ... Italians from the North are usually fairer than those in the south, their skin often a bit lighter. Family realtions are very important - lots of get-togethers, everyone taking care of each other. Very warm-hearted and hard working. The Dutch, because Holland is below sea level, have developed into a people who are  very down-to-earth. They are also world experts on handling water (had to build all those dikes to keep the sea out!), and for a small country are one of the most economically powerful - many Dutch companies all over the world. The Dutch are VERY good with money. They are often very tall - quite a few are over 6 foot 6 inches! They love eating. They are very tolerant of strangers' ways. You have good blood, and great ancestors - the Dutch and the Italians have created some of the world's greatest art and music.

Do you mean the land or the people? If it's the land you are reffering to, the Netherlands is a very flat country. They have built dykes (no I'm not using that as a slur in regards to lesbians) to keep water out and reclaim land from the sea. The name of the Netherlands is from the Latin word 'nether' meaning below. This was the name given to the country on account of it's low elevation and is classified along with Belgium and Luxembourg as the 'Low Countries'.
