I think because the colour of flag was designed with the meaning behind the colour.\n\nLike my country flag, it's red and white.\nRed = brave\nWhite = holy/clean\n\nSo, the founder of the country design the flag because they use the characteristics and meanigs of the colour to describe the country and to express the spirit of the country. It's random, yes we know that.

From Wikipedia:\n\n...Netherland's football team does not wear the colors of the Dutch flag of today, but instead wear a bright shade of orange. The origin of the color is in the history of the Netherlands; it originates from the coat of arms of the Dutch founding father William the Silent (1533 – 1584). The top (red) band of the current flag used to be orange.\n\n\nalso:\n...At the peak of its success in the 1970s, the team was nicknamed "Clockwork Orange" for its precision passing.

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.

Because that is the color of the National Team, called "Azzurri".\nThat is an historical tradition: before the creation of the Italian Republic, the Italian Regal Family (Savoia) had color "azzurro" (kind of blue) in their flag and that color was adopted by the soccer National Team to respect the Regal tradition.\nSince then the color has been kept in the Italian shirt, even though it is not a color present in their National flag.\n\nNOTE: the Italian flag is green - white - red and NOT red - white -green

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.

Properly isn't "blugrana", it's "Blaugrana" and it comes from the join of the name of two colors: Blau and Grana (in Catalan language, which means Blue and Red).\n\nThis name comes from the colors of the t-shirt of F.C. Barcelona, a mix from the colors of the flags of Cataluña and the city of Barcelona

Yellow \nThis is the symbol of light and purity. It speaks of youth, happiness, the harvest, hospitality, love and benevolence. But since it is also taken as off-white, it can be the color of degradation or cowardice.

It seems to be a pretty straight-forward representation of their agri-economical strengths.\n\n"The Peruvian coat of arms consists of a shield surrounded by wreaths to symbolize the agricultural importance of Peru. Inside the shield, in the upper left-hand corner, a llama, a chichona tree and a cornucopia all symbolizing the prosperity of the country. At the bottom of the shield the wreath is connected by a bow colored with the national colors of Peru."\n\nhttp://www.special-tplus.com/peru-flag.html
