This original color scheme was based on Great Britain's political system, which used red to denote the more liberal party.

The Liberal party used yellow, and it's politics lived up to it's name. Red was always the color used by Labour, that used to be left wing, not liberal.

(But yes, I know, they're just politically illiterate and use "liberal" when they mean left)
