Oddly, blue, which was historically meant for the nobility, is associated with the Democratic Party.

Red is associated with the Republican Party.

@DunningKruger is correct that this is a more recent innovation.

@SomeMichGuy purple is associated w nobility. A peasant caught wearing purple was immediately put to death back in the day
@AthrillatheHunt Yeah, and very expensive to make, thus, "royal blue".
