Why is the 'Red Castle' marked with a blue flag at the start of the match, and the 'Blue Castle' marked with a red flag at the start of the match?

If this really is the case, [for example] if the red alliance captures the blue alliance's castle, both towers would have blue flags, making it seem like blue won the match, when in actuality, red won. (And vice versa)
