Players can choose different rubbers for each side that have different effects on how the ball interacts with the paddle but the color lets their opponent know which side they’re hitting with. The color and the type of rubber are completely independent, they just let the opposing player tell them apart. The rule that there had to be a black side and a red side was created by the ITTF, the governing body for table tennis.
