From a coaching perspective, it is essential for those involved to be able to differentiate colours in some way, be it training cones, bibs or clothing, while from a player welfare perspective, the ability of a player or match official to quickly identify those on the field of play is a significant safety consideration, especially in an injury or foul play situation.
