Blue and red always seem to be the uniform colours in Olympic boxing. It makes me think of Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots.

The Chinese kayak is painted magenta and line green. It works much better than you'd think. In contrast to the larger boats, which seem uniformly white or yellow, the kayaks are painted brightly, like racing cars. The Ukranian one is done in blue and yellow checkers.
