red white blue
American flag colors
Red white blue, usually with "and" between each color, refers to the colors of the American flag and by extension to American patriotism or national identity: a red white and blue celebration, decked out in red white and blue.
The phrase evokes Fourth of July imagery, military honor, and American values generally.
Other nations share these colors—France, Britain, the Netherlands—but in American English the combination defaults to the Stars and Stripes.
