    Is it true that the five colors of the Olympic rings include black, blue, red, green and yellow?

    Yes. "The symbol of the Olympic Games is composed of five interlocking rings, colored blue, yellow, black, green, and red on a white field."

    An interesting addition, those five colors are found on all of the participating nations of the Olympics. That is why they were chosen. And the five rings represent the five continents (considering the Americas as one and excluding Antartica).
