Ah! But now we have Roman military equipment by Bishop and Coulston, who say on p.253: "There is no evidence to suggest that textile colours, or any form of 'uniform' in the modern sense, was used to identify the Roman soldier. Rather it was the military equipment which visually proclaimed his identity."
So yeah, a jumble of tunic colours probably. The shields are a different matter. But that too has been discussed before:
