The black-white-red color scheme is based upon the colors of the flag of the German Empire, and the black-white-red colors were commonly associated with anti-Weimar Republic sentiment by German nationalists following the fall of the German Empire after World War I. Hitler knew that combined, these three colors create a psychological sense of intimidation and power.  Which is why a lot of propaganda like these banners use the same color combination. (The photos were taken by Hugo Jager, a former personal photographer of Adolf Hitler. He was one of the few photographers who were using color photography techniques at the time, meaning this image is not colorized but the original photograph. How Jager managed to save them during the fall of Berlin is quite an interesting story.)
