Netherlands vs Russia
These two are close enough that people routinely draw one when they mean the other. Take the challenge first — the flags are further down the page.
The challenge
Practice
Draw the flag from memory.
What actually differs
- Both flags use the same colours — red, white and blue — so the difference is in the shades and the shape.
- Even the shared colours are mixed differently: red (#AE1C28 against #D52B1E) and blue (#21468B against #0039A6).
How to keep them straight
Netherlands: Netherlands is Russia upside down — red on top.
Russia: It is the Dutch flag flipped: white first, red last.
The drawing scorer is built for exactly this: if you swap the colours of the Netherlands it will tell you which two you flipped, rather than just handing you a low number.
