As the Prince's Flag was the first created [[Tricolour|tricolour flag]], it (in)directly inspired many historical and modern day [[Tricolour|tricolour flags]]. The flags below are directly influenced by the Dutch flag, or its predecessors, in colour use and design as a result of a shared history (as flags of former colonies) or economic relations, which is the case for the [[Russian flag]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Eriksen |first1=Thomas Hylland |last2=Jenkins |first2=Richard |title=Flag, Nation and Symbolism in Europe and America |date=2007 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=9781134066964 |page=23 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=scHXHTkRmZcC&pg=PA23 |access-date=29 January 2019 |language=en}}</ref> See the flags in the [[Flag of the Netherlands#Flags of former colonies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands|former colonies section]] above for more examples.

* The design of the French flag was adopted after the [[French Revolution]], where the revolutionaries were influenced by the horizontally striped red-white-blue flag of the Netherlands.<ref name=":6" /><ref name=":7" />
* The flag of Hesse-Nassau is identical to that of the Netherlands. The Dutch royal house originates from the Duchy of Nassau.
* The flag of [[Nimba County]], [[Liberia]] similar to the Dutch flag, superimposed with [[flag of Liberia|Liberian flag]] in the canton.
* The flag of [[Labuan]] and flag of [[Johor Bahru]] in Malaysia similar to the Dutch flag, with a crescent and star in the centre.
* The flag of [[Chin National Front]] in [[Myanmar]] similar to the Dutch flag, with two [[hornbill]]s in the centre.

====Pan-Slavic colours====

The Russian flag in turn is believed to have influenced many flags of other Slavic countries, resulting in many red-white-blue styled tribands in other parts of Europe, and also the red-white-green flag of Bulgaria. [[Peter the Great]] of Russia was building a new Russian Navy mostly on Dutch standards; therefore the [[Merchant flag|merchant]] [[flag of Russia]] at sea would be the inverted colours of the [[Statenvlag|Dutch flag]].<ref name=":7" />

* The flag of Shanghai Municipal Council in Shanghai International Settlement included multiple flags to symbolize the countries that had participated in the creation and management of this enclave in the Chinese city of [[Shanghai]]. The Dutch flag was put along with old Swedish civil ensign (spread vertically), the [[Flag of Austria|Austrian flag]] and old Spanish merchant ensign around the lower shield; all of them were upside down.
