For a legate impression, would purple be the color of choice? Would the paludamentum be purple, would his boots be purple….sword baldric ecc OR is purple only for the emperor and the like while a legate would have similar clothing color to other soldiers albeit better quality.
I was thinking of using a deep red paludamentum and the same for the leather boots I will make. I was then entertaining the idea of coloring the baldric of the sword in purple. However, this would appear to me as inconsistent because purple is expensive and if it were used on a baldric then why not on the other clothing.
