Star Control 1 is the game with 4 factions - blue, green, red and grey

The original Star Control had two sides with seven races each, with each race having a single ship design and special ability. IIRC, the four colors were used on the star map to show Alliance control, uncolonized, Hierarchy control, and unexplored, respectively.
From a physics standpoint, symmetry give you a more predictable center of gravity, which makes it easier to control the direction of acceleration under thrust.
