[Solved] Which of the following is NOT a colour in the Olympic Ring? ›

Answer : Orange is color which not seen in the Symbol of the Olympics.

The orange tone that is seen in flags of countries such as Bhutan, Armenia and Sri Lanka is not one of the 5 colors of the Olympic Rings. Considering the symbol's creation in 1913 was over 100 years ago, it is incredible the relevance the symbol still carries, and the power of the 6 combined colors.

The Olympic symbol consists of five interlaced rings of equal dimensions, used alone, in one or in five different colours, which are, from left to right, blue, yellow, black, green and red.

Indeed, the full-colour Olympic rings are the embodiment of Pierre de Coubertin's original vision; “full-colour” refers to the six Olympic colours – blue, yellow, black, green and red on a white background – which symbolise Olympism's universality.

Coubertin chose the six official Olympic colors—blue, yellow, black, green, red, and white (featured in the background)—because when he introduced the symbol in 1913, every single flag of the nations participating in the games could be reproduced using the colors in the Olympic symbol.
