You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Pink just isn't earthy enough. And no soldier would wear such a sissy color on the battlefield. And it would hurt our eyes for all manner of reasons; not only is it bright and kind of eye-searing in many of it's forms, it would just hurt to see Mal in a long pink coat with matching shirt, pants and suspenders in various shades.
But that's being too logical. Maybe it's just because the creator of the show wasn't a 12-year-old girl? (Not meaning to imply that the poster is a 12-year-old girl and meaning no disrespect to them in general as I was one myself once, but come on now! Pink?)

I figured because it was like Confederate Grey - easy to make at home and cheap. Rim worlds would have no problem mass producing brown cloth or dying/staining other cloth brown. A color like purple is the heckuva lot trickier (that's one of the reasons the Romans reserved it for royalty) and much more expensive.

One day.
One plan.
One army of Browncoats.

I think it's just that "Pinkcoats" doesn't roll off the tongue as easily.

Otherwise, indeed, what would speak against it? *g*

You have to start with white to dye a coat pink.

Dying a coat brown is about the cheapest uniform that one can produce.
