The red and white had significance, that I don't recall. But from a purely aestetic point of view, the red on the outside helps frame the flag. If the flag had 7 White stripes then that would mean the White would be on the top and bottom and this would not stand out on a bright day and would be virtually invisible.

The american flag has 13 stripes because that represents the original 13 colonies. There is no real reason on why they're only 6 white stripes and 7 red stripes.

The colour is not significant. The total of 13 stripes represents the original 13 colonies that successfully fought the British yoke of oppression.
