::***Keep in mind that orange is the color of those Irish who are loyal to the British Monarchy (the £Queen£, €London€, &c.).
They are the soft-targets of the IRA who want independence.

What about the Dutch?
(snip)) The color orange refers to the family name of the Dutch Royal Family, the House of Orange-Nassau. Their ancestor, William of Orange, is the founding father of the Netherlands. Orange symbolizes national unity, and the Dutch signify national pride by wearing orange.

Well, the Orangemen in Northern Ireland link directly to the very same William of Orange because the Protestant King “Billy”, as they refer to him, defeated the Catholic King James II during what the British call the Glorious Revolution. Every 12 July, these Orangemen parade to celebrate the Battle of the Boyne (a river in County Kildare), which is where James was vanquished in 1690.
Pretty sure the actual battle was on 1 or 2 July, so I am not sure of the significance of 12 July.
Battle of the Boyne was on 1 July but there was additional activities later.
Originally, the 12 July commemoration was that of the Battle of Aughrim,[56] symbolising Irish Protestants’ victory in the Williamite war in Ireland. At Aughrim, which took place a year after the Boyne, the Jacobite army was destroyed, deciding the war in the Williamites’ favour. The Boyne, which, in the old Julian calendar, took place on 1 July O.S., was treated as less important, third after Aughrim and the anniversary of the Irish Rebellion of 1641 on 23 October O.S.
