What continent does each color of the Olympic ring stand for?

Answer 1

Despite popular misconceptions there is no link between the ring colours and a continent, the colours simply came from those colours that appeared on all the national flags of the world at that time. The colors, including white, are chosen such that the flag of every country has at least one of its colors in the Olympic flag.

The rings of blue, black, yellow, red and green, which make up one of the most recognized symbols in the world, traditionally represent the five different areas of the world involved in the Olympics (North and South America are considered one area, along with Africa, Australia, Asia and Europe). However, these continents are not represented individually by any particular ring.

Answer 2

Each of the 5 colors stand for the five inhabited continents of the world, (North and South America are classed as one) Americas, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa. No continent is represented by a color, but one of the colors are on every flag in the world.

Answer 3

Contrary to popular belief, the colour of the rings do not represent any specific continent. The only link that the flag has to the continents is the representation of the 5 continents coming together in unity, 5 rings - 5 continents. The colours have not been assigned to any continent.

Answer 4

The five colours on the Olympics rings were chosen because every country who enters the Olympics has at least one of those colours on their flag.

Answer 5

The colors represent the colors that can be found in the flags of nations that participate in the Olympics. No one color represents a continent.
