Crimson & Yellow are the colors of which Army branch?

• A. Infantry
• B. Ordnance Corps
• C. Armor
• D. Signal

Answer: (B)

Crimson and yellow are the official colors of the Ordnance Corps. In the Army, each branch has a signature color pair that appears on insignia, piping, and other uniform details to reflect its history and mission. The combination of crimson (deep red) and gold/yellow is unique to Ordnance, linking the branch to its long history of weapons, ammunition, and ordnance support. The other branches use their own color pairings—Infantry with blue and white, Signal with orange and white, Armor with yellow and black—so this color set clearly identifies the Ordnance branch. The colors symbolize the branch’s heritage and readiness in handling armaments, with red echoing gunpowder and gold highlighting excellence and the metal aspects of ordnance work.
