Why has the racket got two colors?
What is the use of black and blue color?
Has each color got it's own significance?

Hi Prathu,
This was brought about historically because players can use different types of rubber on each side. Having different colours allows your opponent to ell which side you have hit the ball with. The different sides can give completely different results to the ball.
Internationally now you have to have a Red and Black side. The colour of the rubber doesn't make any significant difference to the performance of the rubber.

Hi coach!
You mean there is no significant difference between black rubber and the same red rubber?
I was thinking black rubbers have more grip. Am I wrong? For example, there is a huge difference between my black hurricane3 and red hurrucane3. Also, there was significant differences between my red xiom vega japan and black xiom vega japan. They generated different trajectories of the ball. Feeling the ball was also different despite the same thickness.
I really don't think there is a big difference.
