War Of the Roses Livery Colours Database
« on: September 28, 2018, 08:59:37 PM »
As a wargamer liveries are important. They are a ready way of identifying units on the tabletop via flags or jackets in the livery colours. So to tackle the mystery I created a database and decided to be fairly relaxed as to the source of the information. So far I've combined two sources resulting in a database of 88 livery colours.



One word of caution: apart from the data marked as from the Freezywater database I cannot vouch for the accuracy of any of the livery colours.

Not to take anything away from Freezywater but I would recommend visiting Citadelsix website as these are thoroughly researched in meticulous detail.

It's always worth looking at what the Freezywater help page has to say about livery flags.  The CitadelSix flags seem to follow the convention explained therein.
