Default Countif Function Using "AND"

How can I use the Countif Function to count every time the value in one
column/range equals criteria-1 AND the value in a second column/range equals
criteria-2. In the example below, I want to count every time that column A
equals "Yes" AND column B equals "Red." In this example I should get a count
of 2.

A B
1 Yes Red
2 Yes Blue
3 No Red
4 Yes Red
5 Yes Green

I used the following formula, but the result is "true". I also don't
understand why I'm getting a result of "true" to a Countif formula.

=AND(COUNTIF(A1:A5,"Yes"),COUNTIF(B1:B5,"Red"))

Thanks for any help that anyone can provide!
