The Olympic Rings** The five rings are blue, yellow, black, green, and red. They represent the five parts of the world that are part of the olympics and are ready to compete against each other. Also, the six colors and the white background combined represent those of all nations. The five rings are also representative of the five inhabited continents. The fact that they are intertwined together represents how universal the Olympics is.
