The same colours, reversedSourced

Green-white-orange or orange-white-green?
The flags were mixed up.

Ireland's and Côte d'Ivoire's flags use the same three colours in reverse order. At a 2013 bonfire in Belfast, Ivorian flags were burned in place of Irish ones. The next year, a shop labelled its Ivorian flag to prevent confusion.

The colours match;
the order changes the country.
