Often families of flags have developed. New countries have copied older ones, either out of admiration for the country, or just following fashion. There is a family of flags popular among African nations that may be called the Pan-African colors. They are based upon two historical flags. The Ethiopian flag, the oldest independent state in Africa, was green, yellow, and red. The idealist Marcus Garvey designed a red, black, and green flag intended for a future unified black state. Thus the four colors green, yellow, red, and black became emblematic of black Africa and this flag family includes some 22 African countries.
The blue circle and seal in the middle of the Ethiopian flag that you have used as illustration was added in 1996. It is supposed to represent peace and unity, something Ethiopia has lacked ever since. The symbolism of flags tends to represent aspirations rather than reflections of reality.
Your Ugandan flag derives from the political party colors of the party that won the first elections. The crested crane, however, dates back to colonial times.

According to worldflags101.com, we can see "red" in almost 75% of the national flags around the world. The second and third most poular would be white (almost 70%) and blue (about 50%).
