What do the Olympic rings and their colors mean?
The five interlocking rings symbolize the five inhabited continents united by the Games. Their colors are blue, yellow, black, green, and red on a white background.
What is the answer, and why are there exactly five rings?
The answer is 5. Pierre de Coubertin chose five rings in 1913 to represent the five inhabited continents meeting at the Olympic Games, with the interlocking design symbolizing their union.
Does each Olympic ring color represent a specific continent?
No, and this is the common myth. The colors plus white were chosen because at least one appears on every national flag; the IOC has never officially tied a single color to a single continent.
