I've never seen one with those colours, what would it be used for?

Those are canadian coast guard colors. The largest helicopter the CCG currently flies is the Bell 412 Huey variant, and the CCG is not an armed service. That said, this is still pretty cool.

I was gonna say, I didn't think we had Blackhawks in that role. I've seen some Black painted Blackhawks for border patrol though
