Most people familiar with maps associate certain countries with a colour (USA and France blue, Spain yellow, Italy green). This has to do mostly with the flag's most defining colour that sets it apart or a mixed-colour (romania is purple for blue and red, germany is grey because of the old black-white, etc.)

I have not heard of _Paradox,_ but I understand your point: the UK uses red to represent itself a lot (like with the Queen's guards, or old maps of the British Empire), as does Sweden with it's blue (with the flag). In fact, as an American, I thought blue to be quite an American color, probably because of the "new constellation" that is the US flag's top-left corner.
@Infrared014 жыл бұрын
@@Hand-in-Shot_Productions Yeah thats more historical reasoning. Paradox is a gaming company that primarily produces map-based real-time strategy. From their medieval Crusader Kings, to renaissance era Europa Universalis, to Victorian age Victoria, to WW2 era Hearts of Iron. In all these games, 90% of the countries have a standard color. And like I said in my original post, for example, England and the United Kingdom are always a red color. France is always blue, and so on. But the real life historical reasoning is also important. And your theory on blue being an American color, I can get behind.

I don't know why people would assume that in the American Civil war one the use of red would be you making a political statement, whereas if you flipped them it would just be wrong, You can't not have a blue USA really, its just weird, and Grey just doesn't stand out that well so its just easier to see a red. Plus the fact that is is just a map and most people wouldn't take the colours as anything beyond face value of just being colours that fit the countries good enough. Though seeing how the people that would be offended by that have been acting they would probably use various details to justify why you might do that and try to push a political statement.
