Sadly, the colors are the exact reason I picked TR as my first faction in PS1. When I moved to Emerald a few years later, I switched to VS due to friends that played there, and stayed there due to the outfit play. Otherwise, I'd probably still be Red and Black.
Don't underestimate the Red/Black, Blue/Yellow, Purple/Teal color combos as a first impression draw on population.
I also think the libertarian/guerrilla fighting mindset of the NC's lore tend to draw the more independant players... IE, more of the solo, non-team oriented players. This causes a disparity of non-teamwork oriented players in the faction and a lot less outfit-teamwork ops... which causes problems for the faction as a whole.
Exceptions exist of course... just a stereotype that I think has carried over from PS1 into PS2.
