"Sentimental writers and orators sometimes ascribe meanings to the colors in the flag. The practice is erroneous, as are statements on this subject attributed to George Washington and other founders of the country. Charles Thomson, Secretary of the Continental Congress, reporting to Congress on the Seal of the United States, stated: "The colours of the pales [the vertical stripes] are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valor, and Blue, the color of the Chief [the broad band above the stripes] signifies vigilence, perserverence & justice."

The SA flag has six colors.\n\nI love the SA flag and have one on my desk at work. I even have some idea of what the colors symbolize.\n\nBlack = People (not black people, but many people together)\nWhite = Peace\nRed - Blood (in memory of people who lost their lives in war and the struggle)\nBlue = African skies\nYellow = Natural resources (gold and diamonds and such)\nGreen = Fauna and Flora (animals and forestry)\n\nThis is not set. It's only my idea of what the flag represents.

The colors on various countries flags come from the 5 rings on the Olympic flag, blue, black, red, yellow and green.  These colors represent the five continents that participate in the games.Blue representing Europe, Black representing Africa, Red representing America, Yellow representing Asia and Green representing Australia(Oceania). Every country has at least one of these colors.

White: Signifies purity and innocence \nRed: Signifies valor and bravery \nBlue: Signifies Vigilance, perseverance, and justice \nThe U.S. flag has undergone many changes since the first official flag of 1777. On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act, which said that the flag would be made up of thirteen alternating red and white stripes and thirteen white stars on a blue field. Stars have been added to the flag as new states join the union. Currently, the flag contains 50 stars.

The number five refers to the five continents. He chose six colors (white, red, yellow, green, blue and black) because each flag of the countries that were part of the Olympic movement contain at least one of those colors. The Paris Congress in 1914 was so taken with the design that they adopted it as the official flag of the Olympic movement. The new flag made its debut at the 1920 games in Antwerp, Belgium. It was here that the rings became the official Olympic symbol.\n\n The Olympic flag measures 2.06 m long, 60 cm high and is completely white with five circles in the center. The top three circles, from left to right, are blue, black and red. The bottom two circles, from left to right, are yellow and green. The white background symbolizes peace and truth. The five rings represent the five continents of the world, but a prevalent post-facto interpretation has tied specific colors to specific continents:\nOlympic Flag\n\n• Blue representing Europe\n• Black representing Africa\n• Red representing America\n• Yellow representing Asia\n• Green representing Australia (Oceania):-)

Well, I can't draw it online, but it would have a color from every counrty [sort of like the Olympic Rings symbol has] because America is a melting pot of nationalities. I would try to make the stars do an outline of the US on the field [the blue part] with the red stripes remaining as is. The stars would be different colors.

Do not confuse the English flag (red cross on white field) with the Union Jack (two red crosses, regular and St Andrews with white border on a blue field). The latter was the flag of the United Kingdom

Here is a sampling of the information available at the web site listed below:\n\n\nThe "FLAG CODE" \n\n\nPrevious to Flag Day, June 14, 1923 there were no federal or state regulations governing display of the United States Flag. It was on this date that the National Flag Code was adopted by the National Flag Conference which was attended by representatives of the Army and Navy which had evolved their own procedures, and some 66 other national groups. This purpose of providing guidance based on the Army and Navy procedures relating to display and associated questions about the U. S. Flag was adopted by all organizations in attendance. \n\nA few minor changes were made a year later during the Flag Day 1924 Conference, It was not until June 22, 1942 that Congress passed a joint resolution which was amended on December 22, 1942 to become Public Law 829; Chapter 806, 77th Congress, 2nd session. Exact rules for use and display of the flag (36 U.S.C. 173-178) as well as associated sections (36 U.S.C. 171) Conduct during Playing of the National Anthem, (36 U.S.C. 172) the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, and Manner of Delivery were included. \n\nThis code is the guide for all handling and display of the Stars and Stripes. It does not impose penalties for misuse of the United States Flag. That is left to the states and to the federal government for the District of Columbia. Each state has its own flag law. \n\nCriminal penalties for certain acts of desecration to the flag were contained in Title 18 of the United States Code prior to 1989. The Supreme Court decision in Texas v. Johnson; June 21, 1989, held the statute unconstitutional. This statute was amended when the Flag Protection Act of 1989 (Oct. 28, 1989) imposed a fine and/or up to I year in prison for knowingly mutilating, defacing, physically defiling, maintaining on the floor or trampling upon any flag of the United States. The Flag Protection Act of 1989 was struck down by the Supreme Court decision, United States vs. Eichman, decided on June 11, 1990. \n\nWhile the Code empowers the President of the United States to alter, modify, repeal or prescribe additional rules regarding the Flag, no federal agency has the authority to issue 'official' rulings legally binding on civilians or civilian groups. Consequently, different interpretations of various provisions of the Code may continue to be made. The Flag Code may be fairly tested: 'No disrespect should be shown to the Flag of the United States of America.' Therefore, actions not specifically included in the Code may be deemed acceptable as long as proper respect is shown.

I agree that this can be subjective. For example, they say that when it comes to flowers, each color signifies a meaning. Red = Warmth & Love. White=Peace. Yellow=Jealousy. Purple= Elegance and so on. As for the colors on flags red= blood, war, violence. Green=richness. Black= courage and so forth.

I'm guessing that the solid color flags are the same colors as used on the Olympic flag (rings). At least one of those colors are found in the flags of every country in the world. That's why the Olympic rings are the colors they are, and I'm assuming that hotel flags are the same colors.
