I respect your reservations Dan.
The reconstructions were not just artistic impressions but the product of phasmatoscopic analysis from the German museums. I trust that these people knew what they were doing.
Actually bronze cuirasses and linothorakes were reconstructed in the colours we know them. And the ancient artist tried to represent the different types of armor.
I should have taken pictures of other items like shoes reconstructed in the same color. Some statues considered barefoot actually had the shoes painted on their feet!
Kind regards
