I hope NED will still wear their orange on Sunday. How is it determined who wears the home colours?

Home side wears primary colors usually. Dunno how they determine that though, wiki has Netherlands listed as home for what its worth.

haha I just looked it up and the team that gets to wear their primary colors is determined by alphabetical "ascending order" so Australia had top priority. Kinda random way of deciding but I guess there's really no great way.
Netherlands will wear orange.

Really? That's weird. Australia wore those crap blue rugby looking uniforms one match.
I thought they alternated. Although I can't remember the last time Holland played Spain in a major tournament if ever!
so Holland in orange and Spain in blue?

According to the random Yahoo answers thing I found the team higher in the ascending order gets to choose, so Netherlands could wear white or orange if they wanted to.

It's not compulsory that if one team wears the home kit the other should wear the away kit. Only when the colours are same for example Australia vs Brazil. In this case neither Australia nor Brazil are hosts of the World Cup so by ascending order Australia comes first so they get to decide which jersey they will wear. If Australia decides to wear the home kit then Brazil has to wear it's Away Kit because the home kits of the both the teams are of the same colour. If the hosts of the World Cup are playing then the hosts get to decide which jersey they will wear.

They should let the country with a higher Fifa ranking have the option.

Ya ranking makes sense to me too, I did pull the alphabetical thing from a random web search though so it could easily be wrong.

That was probably determined when Charlize Theron played with a bunch of balls back in December. The match schedule had been out for 2 years.

I'm just happy that Liverpool will have a World Cup winner on their team no matter what.
Kuyt if the Dutch win and Torres, Reina, along with old boys Alonso and Arbeloa if Spain takes it.
Excellent!
