Answer:

According to Coubertin, the colors of the rings together with the white of the background included the colors composing every competing nation's flag at the time. the six colors [including the flag's white background] combined in this way reproduce the colors of every country without exception.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each ring in the 16 prints symbolizes one of the five continents competing at the Olympics: Africa (yellow), the Americas (red), Asia (green), Europe (black), and Oceania (blue).\have a nice day T_T
