Livery
The station's livery is navy blue with stripes of the colours of the rainbow, as Choi Hung in Cantonese means "rainbow".<ref name=scmp104875>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Station layout
Although there are four platforms at the station, only platforms 1 and 4 are fully functional. There are three tracks that run through the station, with platforms 2 and 3 sharing the middle track that is located in the middle of the station. The middle track is primarily used as a siding, and it leads to the Kowloon Bay MTR depot, located west of Template:STN. Platform 2 is the termination platform for back-to-depot trains, while Platform 3 is the boarding platform for out-of-depot trains towards Template:STN.
The platform screen doors of the third track served as prototypes in 2001 when MTR started to test the feasibility of installing these doors in stations throughout its system.
