The colours were taken from the arms. These colours were not fixed. Various sources give different designs, but two main sets can be compiled.

I have some xerox copies of sheets which seam to come from a book
(bilingual Dutch and French) containing regulations (for the Navy
maybe?). It contains a sheet with the honorary flags of the governors
of the provinces, adopted by Order in Council of 28 October 1936.
It includes a construction sheet. The flags are 150x150 cm. Each
stripe is 50 cm. The shields are 43.5 cm. wide and 50 cm. high
excluding 3.75 cm for the point of the shield. The shields are in the
center of the black stripe.
