If color printing had already been invented in the 18th century, what colors would the media or the parties themselves, respectively, have chosen to represent different political parties?

 Red for the left and blue for the right.

The Democrats were more pro-gold on the presidential level than the Republicans, as demonstrated by the candidacies of James A. Garfield and Benjamin Harrison. The years that Republicans were pro-gold pre-'96, the Democrats were about the same or moreso. 1872 is the only pre-1896 exception that comes to mind.

Then Gold Democrats and Gold Republicans, easy as pie. (And Violet for Federalists)

Red for the left and blue for the right.

The question is: What did "left" and "right" mean back then?
Who was more left-wing? The Democratic-Republican Party or the Federalists?
And which parties were left-wing or right-wing in 1860?

I guess that Abraham Lincoln was considered the liberal candidate in 1860, whereas John Breckenridge was considered the more conservative candidate.
