What do the colors mean? According to wikipedia:
The emblem chosen to illustrate and represent the world Congress of 1914 ...: five intertwined rings in different colours -blue, yellow, black, green, red - are placed on the white field of the paper. These five rings represent the five parts of the world which now are won over to Olympism and willing to accept healthy competition.
It's also thought that there are five rings to represent each participating continent. (The Americas are counted as a single continent & Antarctica doesn't make the cut)
