The "double crown" (sxmty in hieroglyphs)was simply the two crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt combined into one. These were much more ancient crowns, one red (dSrt) and the other white (HDt) which were worn in pre-Dynastic times by the rulers of Upper and Lower Egypt.
The reason for the original choice of these colours is likely to be religious, but it is not known today.
