I know from various sources that Christian Democrats in Germany were associated with black, and that Christian Democrats in Italy were associated with white. I could see the link to the Dutch influence, but I am also aware Orange has been seen as Protestant for that exact reason. The Reuchamps citation on Political colour - Wikipedia, notes the colour link in Belgium, but doesn't say much else. DishevelledD (talk) 02:01, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, German CDU had Orange for a couple of years. May there be a connection to "Orange Revolutions"? By now, it seems, the CDU has changed its color to turquoise - as their Austrian counterpart OeVP. But in diagrams both are, mostly at least, black.
The Bavarian CSU is sometimes exposed as blue, so that it can be distinguished from the black CDU.
Since AfD (blue, as its Austrian counterpart FPOe - and in earlier times also the German F.D.P.) has been established, this may be more difficult....
To make it more complicated, the formerly black (what else, as a Catholic party) Centre Party has been using Blue, since Black had been taken over by CDU/CSU.... MarcoLitz (talk) 15:14, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
