Which image/video are you referring to? As far as I can tell, the colors are not used to represent race, but to convey different kinds of information. For example, in Figure 1 and 3 of the paper, the color indicates different points in time. In the video, the colors indicate different motion generation methods. I would not classify "orange", "blue" and "purple" as Caucasian, but if you want even more colors, you can have a look at the original paper where color coding was used to differentiate between different skinning methods (Figure 2).

To me, the four videos directly beneath the go to it website link are def not Black, Hispanic, Asian, or most other non-white races.
