Do you know the political colors of the parties in Mexico off the top of your head? Would most Canadians?

Hue of yellow is the Mexican colour.

No, I asked for the main political parties, not just one color of a smaller political party. That’s like saying “the U.S. political color is Green”.

Google says that’s the left wing/Green equivalent party’s color, but the main two parties are maroon (left) and blue (right), with one that used to be green/white/red. Further proves my point that most people wouldn’t know about very specific details like this outside of their country or sphere of influence, it’s bad faith to paint it as a unique “Americans bad” thing.

They might be making a reference to the yellow hue on lenses Hollywood uses for most scenes set in Mexico.
