The colors most often associated with Japan are red and white (i.e., the colors of the Japanese national flag). These colors are often the first chosen, for example, when making up (arbitrarily selected) teams for intramural sports competitions. The colors are also those associated with Kouhaku Uta Gassen(紅白歌合戦), a year-end televised singing competition.

Blue is also frequently associated with Japan; it is especially often used in sports uniforms worn in international competitions.

The Japanese words associated with the visible color spectrum are 紫, 青, 緑, 黄色, 橙色, and 赤 (or violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red, respectively). Other color terms in popular language are akin to those in English (cf. "salmon red") and nonce phrases are often formed after the same fashion.
