What continent does each color of the Olympic ring stand for?

Despite popular misconceptions there is no link between the ring colours and a continent, the colours simply came from those colours that appeared on all the national flags of the world at that time. The colors, including white, are chosen such that the flag of every country has at least one of its colors in the Olympic flag. The rings of blue, black, yellow, red and green, which make up one of the most recognized symbols in the world, traditionally represent the five different areas of the world involved in the Olympics (North and South America are considered one area, along with Africa, Australia, Asia and Europe). However, these continents are not represented individually by any particular ring.
