Flags are a branch of Heraldry - most ancient flags were based on coats of arms - and have to obey the same rules. On heraldry the only colours permitted are gules (red), azure (blue), vert (green) and, very very rarely, purpure (purple). There are also two metals, or (gold) and argent (silver), usually represented by tellow and white respectively. red, white and blue, therefore, represent half or more of the available hues.
