ECW - Cavalier - Plumes colors

[BESPJL]

Hi,

I've the information that the colors of the plumes of the cavaliers was red and white. Were there any other colors for them?

Thanks.

Any colour you want there was very little uniform in use back then

Thanks Steve but weren't there any colors less favoured or more favoured by each side?

Plumes/ feathers could be any colour.
The general assumption that Royalists had red and parliamentarians had orange sashes is also not true. (This comes from paintings of Parliamentarian leaders wearing orange sashes, but there are paintings of Cromwell in different colours, and battles being often local affairs, each side would choose another "Field Recognition", like a sprig of leaves or handkerchief in their hat)
