What are the colors of the US Army?

The official colors of the Army are black and army yellow. Black represents knowledge and the law, while gold symbolizes honor and the Army's achievements. Individual branches of the army also have their own colors, varying between battalions and various groups.

While the official colors are black and gold, there is a marching cadence learned by members of the army that lists different colors, such as blue, white, red, green and gold. The cadence, called "The Army's Colors," attaches significance to each individual color; for example, red represents the blood shed in combat, gold represents a soldier's boldness and blue represents truth.
