Yes. The American convention, with Republican as red and Democrat as blue, is odd in the international context.
The colour scheme in the U.S. wasn't fixed until 2000; Reagan's win in 1980 was described as a "sea of blue" (Reagan was a Republican).
See [[Red states and blue states#Origins_of_current_color_scheme]]. We have an article about everything :)
