Back before 1968, Formula One racing was done in National Racing Colors, and cars had very little, if any, sponsorship decals
Green was Great Britain's color for example. Ever hear of "British racing Green"? It's because of their National Colors
Italy was....Red. That's why Ferrari is so famous for its 'testa rossa' cars. It just means "red head", but that's why Ferrari is so heavily linked to the color
The United States had two color schemes actually. One was White with a Blue Stripe. The other was Blue with a White Stripe. The Blue color with white accent is the more common iteration. My car is Imperial Blue Metallic with White stripes- US Racing Colors
See sig pic, and below: 1967 Spa-Franchorchamps winning car...and driver...and car constructor...and team owner...Dan Gurney. Dan is, well, Dan is the Man. The great Jimmy Clark considered Gurney his only real rival, in the whole world. Anyway. Blue and white is the colors the USA used to race under
