The upper right ring is red and it does represent America:
On page 18 of the Green Booklet (both French and English versions) the text says that the colours of the Olympic Rings attributed to the respective five continents areas follows: Blue for Europe, yellow for Asia, black for Africa, green for Australia and red for America. According to the documents in the possession of the Chancellery, no definite proof can be found that this allocation of colours was P. de Coubertin’s original idea at the very most he might perhaps have admitted it afterwards. To put an end to all controversy on this point the E. C. of the I. O. C. has decided to cancel this paragraph and not to allocate any colours to the various continents. The C.
