Colors of WOT

[Brian Hamner]

More questions for popular opinion to aid in my painting.

Cadinsor- is it camoflage? I know its primarily gray and brown, but is
it splotchy like camo or do the colors all fade together?

Maiden Buckler shields- They all wear bucklers and carry 3 spears in
their hands if Im correct. The bucklers are made of what? Leather,
Iron? And do they alwats carry their spears in their hands or do they
have a holster on their back or belt to put them in when not in use?

The almighty AS shawl- I know the fringe represents the ajah color,
but what color is the body of the shawl?

Someone save me some time- What colors was the coat Rand was wearing
at the end of Winter's Heart?

Last one: The shoufa- do the maidens have to wear it with the veil or
do they sometimes just wear the veil?

I know I could look some of these up though it would take me days, and
yet others have not been explained, but even if you dont know for
sure, I would like to get the concensus.

I would assume that it is made up of solid color pieces vice any kind
of cammy pattern.

Spears carried in their off-hand. Buckler is leather.

I've always imagined the formal shawl to be white with the Flame of
Tar Valon embroidered in red. Ajah colors for the fringe. Undress
shawls can match the dress, contrast, or whatever.

The veil is part of the shoufa -- it just isn't always drawn up to
cover the face.

I've always imagined the formal shawl to be white with the Flame of
Tar Valon embroidered in red. Ajah colors for the fringe.

The flame is set off in a disc of the color of which ever ever Ajah; a
la Moiraine's had a white flame on a disc of blue.

In the case of the White Ajah, it's specifically mentioned that on a
White's shawl, only the black sticking distinguishes the outline of the
flame from the field that is the disc (in white).

I have always pictures it as garments of solid colors, but all of earth
tones, i.e. beige shirt, gray pants, etc.

Leather, more precisely, hide. Not sure about the holster.

The almighty AS shawl- I know the fringe represents the ajah color,
but what color is the body of the shawl?

I've always portrayed it as a neutral color like ecru or cream, with
embroidered vines and leaves.

Why are the Ajah colors Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Brown, White, and Gray?
Why not Orange or Purple?
