Why do black, yellow and white usually come with red?
Black and yellow were the colors of the Habsburg monarchy. In modern African flags, they belong to the wider Pan-African palette of red, yellow, green and black, where white is added as an edging.
Black stands for the people, yellow for the sun or mineral wealth, and white for peace.
