Branch Colours
Uniforms are in colours according to a person's current branch - their branch may change several times in their career, and staff are sometimes temporarily assigned to another branch.
Ship base colours can be anything they want, although their highlights must be their dragon colours. It takes a ship up to an hour (depending on the degree of change) to change base skin colours. Colours are usually on the darker end of the scale.
| Colour | Function |
| Blue | Merchant Navy (vast majority) |
| Green | Military / Police |
| Purple | Diplomatic / Government |
| Orange | Free Ship currently unattached |
| Red (not a ship skin colour) | Human form of ships still in debt, Civilians temporarily using military clothes |
Note free ships not currently attached to Confederation tend to draw distrust - "What's their problem? Why have they chosen not to help us?"

Seems very much like
That ConFeds have a very distinct orange-phobia. Orange dragon-ships... I do remember it was pointed that the CF does not know the color of the dragon they use, so it makes me rather worried. Unless at least one of the following guesses is true they may have some measures in place to eliminate ships of this color, with prejudice.
The following statement that would invalidate that, are such - orange dragons are a rarer breed of dragons, and their bones are just as rare to come up as a genetic material for the ships. After all silvers are also rare. Or - the ConFeds are actually sneaky and have a pre-screening procedure, they have a way to check for orange coloring (like - test clone or something). Or - the orange dragons favor burial grounds different from those other dragons favor, so while they are no less frequent than other breeds they are rarely found at the favored excavation sites of the ConFeds.
