Imperial fatigues color = rank or post?


Recommended Posts

Watching the theatrical DVDs, I spotted a few colors for their suits: olive drab, darker grey (might just be olive), lighter grey, white, and black. Anovos offers olive and black and I wanted to get a cap for helmet-off pics etc.

So, do the colors indicate rank? Would make sense if Tarkin is a boss in olive vs the detention block dude in black who wouldn't be as high up, (but higher than the dome helmets?)

Or do they only indicate post or position, as in Tarkin and his crew don't really physically do anything there. Just wondering if anyone has decided or if it's up to us

The general consensus was that they were different branches of service.  IOC (Imperial Officer Corp) has numerous threads where people go back and forth.  What we did see is in ANH, the TK Officers wore black.

Black soft parts for a TK makes sense. They're on preorder for this summer for $50 or $100 if you want real wool. Even has a magnet holding the metal piece on as to not puncture the fabric. Looks good in their pictures at least. Not shelling out $1000 more just for a uniform made of wool, tho! Yikes... But their TK lid kit is only $100... Weird. Anyways, thanks all. (Finally found the sentence in the right wookieepedia article which says black for TKs)
