The colors are red (7 stripes) and white (6 stripes). The field containing 50 stars is blue.
The 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies, and the 50 stars represent the current number of states (which changed over time as states were added).
The American flag contains thirteen horizontal stripes of red and white from top to bottom, starting and ending with red. Additionally, the union on the upper left-hand side has a blue background with fifty white five-pointed stars. This design was credited to Robert G. Heft in 1958, who designed the flag as a school project and also submitted a proposal for a 51-star flag.

13 stripes
The stripes on the United States flag (13 in the current form), represent the original 13 founding colonies. The color of the stripes (alternating red and white) don't individually stand for anything - that is, the color of the stripes, field, and stars don't specifically have any meaning. The choice of red, white, and blue for the US Flag seems to come from the Union Jack (the flag of the United Kingdom). As the original colonies were formerly British, using the flag of their former overlord as the basis for the new flag is a reasonable choice.
the red and white stripes are the thirteen colonies and the stars mean the 50 states
