History of the flag
The arms of Luxembourg date from the medieval times. Probably these are the Limburgian arms, diffentiated by changing the silver background into ten silver and blue stripes.

Flags in the colours of the arms (red, white and blue) were first used in 1830 during the Belgian revolt. The flag was defined as horizontal tricolour on 12 June 1845.

Mark Sensen, 17 May 2002

The law prescribing the flag was adopted on 23 June 1972 and published in the Memorial. Journal officiel du Grand-Duche de Luxembourg A-N51 on 16 August 1972.
On the same date was adopted a water canal transport ensign and at the same time air ensign.

Pascal Vagnat,, 15 April 1999

The reasons why these emblems were adopted so lately is simple:

concerning the national flag there weren't any laws protecting this emblem(as well as the arms of the state and of the Great Duke), which any country in the world could adopt as its emblems (don't forget that many states became independent at that time, especially in Africa) or which could be misused by everyone.The other reason is that UNESCO wanted to have the laws and history of the Luxembourg flag at that time.
concerning the ensign, same reason of emblem protection and also the fact that this ensign was unofficially already used by canal transport crafts on the Mosel to differenciate them from the Dutch crafts.The canalisation of the Mosel in the 60s and 70s which made Dutch boats capable to go to Luxembourg, with the problem of knowing who was who, urged the governement to take measures.
Pascal Vagnat, 10 May 1996

Before 1972, the blue stripe was of any shade, e.g., Flaggenbuch [neu92] shows dark blue without ratio specification, as is to be expected.
