Red, Blue and White is not just the USA. Also see UK, France, Russia, Chile, Cambodia, Australia, New Zealand, Panama etc.

Perhaps just 'flags are more than likely to be emblazoned with these three colours'?

At least change it to USA; South America is honestly more yellow.

Example for Red & Black is the BlackWidow. And the Nazi Swastika.

* North Latin American Nations (Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela) all have flags with the three primary colours stacked on top of each other - yellow on blue on red. There is a Colombian rhyme which goes ''"yellow is our gold, blue is our vast seas and red is the blood that gave us our freedom"''. This is probably applicable to the other two countries, too, as they all have sea borders and were once so wealthy in gold that [[LandmarkOfLore El Dorado]] was not fictional; it was a story from Spaniard exploradoras (honestly, the Spanish for 'explorer') who were just handed millions of pounds worth of gold because to the Andean nationals it was so common it was worthless, basically sand. Other interpretations for Ecuador and Venezuela say that yellow is abundance of crops and opportunities. The Venezuelan flag also has the yellow representing the goodness and new opportunities, the red Spain and the blue the Atlantic, separating the two (Venezuela is the furthest East of the three).
* For Yellow & Blue, Link of ''TheLegendOfZelda'' is blonde with blue eyes and this is specifically mentioned as making him the chosen one in ''Twilight Princess'' as he was made a "blue-eyed beast" in the Twilight Realm.
* For Black & White the traditional magician's wand (black with white ends) is said to hold all kinds of magic (both good and bad) but the good is stronger and so holds the bad magic inside the wand, not allowing it to come out.
