Medical Services will wear Red during the Games to be easily spotted.
Technical Officials (Referees) will wear Blue.
The colour worn by most of the Games' teams (the operational areas) will be yellow.

South KoreaSouth Korean uniform has mosquito-repellent chemicals woven into the fabric to help guard against the Zika virus. This is the only designers attribute within the uniform. Everything else is pretty standard.
FranceThe French uniform was created by Lacoste, who opted for a laid-back look of ponchos and trench coats to help ward off any possible downpours. The French colours are discreetly hidden on the embroidered crocodile.
Great BritainThe uniform has been designed by Stella McCartney. It featured the Union Flag, opting instead for a specially designed coat of arms, which she has splashed heavily over everything.
SwedenThe Swedish team will be wearing uniform created by H&M. Faced with the tricky colour combination of yellow and blue, they have tried to soften the Sesame Street feel of the palette with a more flattering golden yellow over the traditional acidic tone.
The design looks really sporty, with graphic go-faster chevrons of colour, and a sweater proudly announcing Sweden’s medal tally to date - 696.
