What are the colors of the Ordnance Corps?

• A. Blue and Gold
• B. Green and White
• C. Yellow, Crimson Red
• D. Red and Silver

Answer: (C)

Branch colors identify the Army’s Ordnance Corps on uniforms and insignia. For Ordnance, the traditional colors are yellow and crimson red. Yellow signifies the material, metal, and ordnance focus of the branch, while crimson red highlights the weaponry and ammunition connection and provides a strong, recognizable contrast. This pairing is embedded in the Ordnance Corps insignia and regalia and is the established representation used across official dress and honors. The other color combinations do not match the official Ordnance colors and are associated with different branches or contexts.
