Red and Blue are not complimentary colours but they are usually selected for team colours for most rival games and events. For example Builders League United, the Alliance and Agatha Knights are often garbed in blue with blue flags and such and their rival teams Reliable Excavation Demolition, the Horde and Mason Order are often garbed in red with red flags.

I am not sure exactly why most video games prefer these choice of colours but I usually consider it a sort of video game tradition, like how the start button always pauses the game.

However I would usually consider that Ice was the rival element of Fire. A few games, anime and cartoons often depicting such a combination of fire and ice usually canceling one another out. Water merely be the extinguisher.
