Hi Guys

in all of the photos I have seen the HJ shirt is a sand colour akin to the brown shirts.

But I have seen shirts a very strange bright golden mustard colour is this right?? because it looks quite odd



Cheers Guys
 
Unfortunately photos are not a reliable way of comparing color shades.

Color photography from the '30s and '40s often looks very different from the actual colors of the people / things being photographed. Even modern digital photography is dependent on the calibration of the camera taking the picture and the monitor the picture is being viewed on.

To add to the confusion, there was often a huge variation in color shades on mass produced items like shirts.

Here is a link to an amusing and well researched article from At The Front, where the owner takes issue with buyers of repro US kit who insist on a color that doesn't exist.
