I have seen purple linothorakes,pink linothorakes with a bit red and white,but not a deep red one.I'd go for a white as a base and ptobably with designs of other colors(also shown in one of Gioi's pics).
Alexander was wearing a Persian linothorax that was already used in battle.It had to be something exceptional to wear it!Probably a Persian Satrap's armour...This kind of quilted thorax was shown only in regular soldiers in vases and in Darious' servants and charioteers in the Alexander mosaic.

I was alway wondering what this is supposed to Indicate.I belt or part of the linothorax?
