Sleeve Color

Paul(MM), Victor(neutral), John(Command) (from Collision Course)

Intro

On Moonbase Alpha, the uniforms have one colored arm sleeve, and the color denotes a Section of duty. Since people on Alpha can have multiple roles, especially after Breakaway, there is presumably some protocol about which role overrides another as far as receiving a sleeve color, and/or who might have to change uniforms for different duties and who keeps only one, but it is not clear to the Editor what those may be.

Warnings

Colors shown here are simple HTML colors, with no attempt made at an exact match. The appearance of the colors on this page, or the colors in the episodes, may vary by monitor and/or TV anyway.
On the same point, if you're seeing a vidcap here, its color is not necessarily an exact match either, given similar possible variation plus potential vidcap differences.

Notes

In Y2, the same color also appeared on the collar (turtleneck) portion of the uniform.
In Y1, the Commander uniform has a small black collar(?), the only one to have such a collar.
By "[None]" (sometimes "neutral"), the Editor means the sleeve matches the rest of the light biege (?) color of the uniform.
It is sometimes difficult to tell the difference between the yellow and the orange colors on screen, at least in some copies of episodes. When characters wearing these two different colors stand next to each other, the difference can perhaps be better noted.
