Political Colour
Political parties often, both officially and unofficially, become associated with different political colours which are used to represent them. Internationally there is a tendency for parties with similar ideologies to use similar colours. An example of this is the colour red, which is synonymous with left-wing ideologies (c.f. Red Flag, Red Army, Red Scare). Such associations are not absolute, for example red is also the colour associated with the right-wing U.S. Republican Party.
