red and white

Peppermint stripe colors

Red and white describes the color combination of red and white, commonly seen in flags, sports team uniforms, and holiday decorations.

The pairing appears frequently in national symbols—the flags of Canada, Japan, Poland, and Switzerland all feature red and white.

In sports, teams wearing red and white often inspire strong fan identification.

The combination also evokes Christmas imagery, candy canes, and peppermint.
