H. Grote, Geschichte der Welfischen Stammwappen, Leipzig 1863, quotes the Braunschweiger Anzeigen 1748 that the colours of Brunswick(-Wolfenbüttel) have always been yellow and blue. Only from 1814 until 1830 were the colours blue and white, he says. Thereafter Duke Wilhelm made them blue and yellow.
