    It's leather/hide armor, not a uniform (remember the pic of the cataphract armors given by lusted).

    The faction colors are in the horses saddles (purple) and the cloth underneath the armor (soldier to the right of the screen, he wear "pink" (surprise surprise) pants).

    Blacks already Taken by Macedonians...Different shade of Monochromatic Color? I dont know, why The Seleucids are depicted Silver? only because the Argyrapsids...(or why The Parthians are Purple/Pink)

    I think the Egyptian will use yellow/golden and black as colors.

    I don't think the Seleucids will be playable, but they will probably use the same colours than in Rome 1 like all others factions, so silver and white or black too ?

    Germans and Parthians have too similar banners.

    Color-Wise? I Agree.
    I mean, what is the reason why are they Colored like that? any Historical Precedence?

    Antiochus, as a Seleukia fan, do you have any Source on Seleucid Colors? I see why Seleucids are colored Silver is just because of the Argyraspides, which is just an elite unit within the Seleucid Army...

    Only Carthaginians have somewhat different coloring through their Secondary and Tertiary Colors compared to RTW...I see no reason why to retain RTW colors for other factions...

    My guess is an arbitrary reason honnestly...

    When they could find something (like roman in red, brittons in blue because of the tattoo etc) they did, but otherwise, they went with the colors that contrast the most with each other.
    There is really no reasons i can think of why the parthians are pink other than "we ran out of colors and somebody has to be M. Pink !"

    It was basically the same in Medieval (1 & 2), factions colors were mostly based on medieval heraldry (the empire being yellow and black (although the colors were inversed in MTW), like for the french (although why light blue and white instead of "Bleu de France" and gold in M2TW is anyone guess), or english. But some factions made no sense color wise, the muslims for a start (should be noted though that Egypt had the same colors in Medieval and Rome TW) but others too.
