on the way to maximus' first fight for proximo, he and the other gladiators are walking to the arena while walking under the entrance of red , Hagen (not sure his real name but he was Conan on tv) remarks to maximus that the gods favor him because red is the gods color . but not five minutes later the guards says pair up red and yellow and maximus clearly with the color yellow on his shirt is paired up with Juba ( the black gladiator)who was clearly marked with red paint.

so which is it maximus red or yellow?
