On Hanukkah, the colors of candles don't mean anything; it's only important that they stay lit for at least half an hour after you light them (and an hour after you light them on Erev Shabbat).

Traditionally, there wasn't any meaning associated with a kippah (almost no one Jewish uses the Yiddish word yarmulke these days). However, in Israel, a kippah's colour/pattern can denote political and religious affiliations. The size and shape also can be associated with different groups. Both in Israel and outside of Israel, some people wear kippot with their favourite sport team, etc on it. For special events such as weddings, some people will order kippot that are coordinated to the colours of the bridal party.

There are no traditional colors for Hanukkah.

But because of Influence by Christmas (namely the fact the Christmas has traditional colors), Jewish people took the colors of the Israeli Flag (blue and white) and made them Hanukkah colors. But this practice is only about 40 years old.

There is no significance to the colors of any menorah. It's a matter of style.
