No. Those colors were already traditional for flags. The colors of the American flag were taken from the colours of the Great Seal of the United States. The colors were the same as the British flag and were chosen simply because they were traditional flag colors. The symbolic meanings for the particular colors (to match the symbolism on the flag) were suggested at a later date, based on the same sort of rationales used in European coats-of-arms.
