Den Bosch, Netherlands

Carrot orange prevails each year on the Queen's Birthday because the queen is a ruler from the House of Orange. In the Netherlands, orange is the color of both royalty and fun. Several centuries ago, the Dutch even had fun with the carrot when they made it orange by hybridizing wild carrots that came in all colors. [2003]
