This is the current HAL house flag. What was the overall color (colour for our Canadian friends) of the previous flag?

A late check-in from a cold-snow bound Chicago, aka a typical Sunday in February. I wish I had waited till now to go on vacation ...

[Copper10-8]

Still waiting, so one more; this is the original/first house flag of what was then, in 1873, known as the Nederlandsch Amerikaansche Scheepvaart Maatschappij (NASM) or Netherlands American Shipping Company

What is the historical significance of the green-white-green colors?

 

 

[IllinoisGirl1978]

It's the States and the Netherlands, meaning land is the green?
