Why did the Red Cross choose this symbol as an emblem?

The Red Cross was founded by Henry Dunant, a tradesman who was moved by the abandonment of the wounded on the Solferino battlefield. He instigated the formation of a Committee for the Assistance of the Wounded, which later gained adhesion from other countries. However, as the founders were from Switzerland, the red cross on a white background was chosen as the emblem of the group, which is actually the inverse of the colors present in the country's flag.
