Something like:
colors = {red, yellow, green, blue};
sizes = {small, medium, large};
randomColor := RandomChoice@colors
randomSize := RandomChoice@sizes
pairs = Table[{randomColor, randomSize}, {50}];
Partition[Count[pairs, #] & /@ Tuples[{colors, sizes}], Length@sizes]
{{5, 3, 3}, {3, 6, 3}, {8, 1, 2}, {5, 4, 7}}
or
Apply[Count[pairs, {##}, 1] &, Outer[List, colors, sizes], {2}]
{{5, 3, 3}, {3, 6, 3}, {8, 1, 2}, {5, 4, 7}}
