At the professional level, most Assistant Referees carry matching flags. However, many basic starter sets for new referees have one orange and one yellow flag. The intended purpose of this is not clear, but two possibilities come to mind. First, one color might have been used to denote the "senior (or first) assistant referee". Another possibility is that each AR is expected to have the pair, and the referee could choose, based on lighting conditions or personal preference, which color the ARs should use.

Most flags have both orange and yellow components on the same flag, and come in matching pairs. The unmatched pair is still sold in starter kits today, but are rarely seen above the youth and recreational levels.

If the flag was inadvertent, or the official determines that a foul should not have been called, the procedure is to pick up the flag and wave it back and forth, to indicate that the foul is "waved off."

The hand closest to the referee. Depending where you are and which way you are facing. This allows the referee to better hear and see the flag when you raise it. Good luck.
