The colors in the flag are red, white and blue. The colors have no special meaning in the flag.
The relevant bit. IIRC it uses those colors both because those were the two most commonly available colors of fabric dye at the time (indigo and turkey red) and because everyone else used those damn colors too so why be different. That first one might be apocryphal, I admit.
