Since 1 July 1986 the rules of Table Tennis state that one side of the racket shall be bright red and the other side black.
This rule was introduced because of the increased use of "combination" rackets in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Players were using the same colour rubber on each side of their racket - but each side was a different type of rubber - and this made it very difficult for the opponent to know what type of spin was being imparted onto the ball.

Professional players usually glue their own special rubbers on each side of the racket and different rubbers have different effects on the ball.

The differences between the two sides of a ping pong "patel" as you refer to it ( in table tennis terms it is called a "racket") is that the same rubber can be used on both sides...or...two different types can be used. Some types of table tennis rubber are used for more spin while others are used for less spin. Either way, in official competition, one side must be red and the other side black. Red and black were chosen because they are more easily reckonized.

Why is the bat of table - tennis red and black?
A table tennis bat requires one of the sides to have a red rubber and the other to have a black rubber. A player is not required to have the same rubber on either side of the bat such that each side of the bat reacts differently. One side may be a high spin rubber while the other acts as an anti-spin. By making each side of the bat a different colour lets an opponent know how the rubber will react when hit off it.
