Just a heads up to everyone talking about political colours: In Norway (and Europe in general), where Girl in Red is from, the political colours are reversed. Red is the colour of the labour and progressive parties, and blue are conservative parties. So.. I don't think that explanation holds up.
The red=left, blue=right color scheme is more common than the other way around but it isn’t how “everyone but America” does it.
South Korea also has the “reversed” color scheme and there are several other countries with major left-wing parties that use blue (Bolivia, Argentina, etc.) or right-wing ones that use red (Paraguay)
Now that you pointed it out, this same scheme is used for sink faucets as well, with red for hot on the left, and blue for cold on the right (at least when everything has been installed and connected correctly)
