The original design intention of the Olympic logo is to use the five rings to symbolize the five continents in the world that recognize the Olympic movement and prepare to participate in the Olympic competition, and the sixth color, white, the base color of the flag, and the combination of the five colors of the five rings can represent the flag colors of all countries in the world at that time, meaning that all countries can participate in the competition under their own flags without exception. This contains Coubertin's idea of absorbing colonial nations to participate in the Olympic Games and serving the cause of peace among nations. (Note: There is no clear correspondence between the colors of the five rings and the continents)
