No no no...You got me wrong. But I blame myself,maybe I just can not express myself good enough.I do not have syndrome,especially not Hollywood.Adding smoke or trembling camera is not the point.
Point of pictures was how differently two shields can look even explained in same way using exact same words BLUE and YELLOW. And that is often as much as you have from ancient text.
I can not say my theory is right, we can not know that,nor can you.It is now only left for every man himself to decide which look more real. I just had to present other option, that has no reason to be inaccurate.
Look only at red color of various tunics in this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzV87pflcII , forget about that movie or context, or even bad weather,all of that...that color is for me "Spartan red".. And why would I be wrong if I said that?? Same is with all other color.

Thank you.I understand you.And agree also.
Trying to think outside box is what I am trying here.Maybe I prove wrong,but maybe I prove right.
Neoptolemos crushing Astyanax's scull --- exactly my point, and that image is nothing compared to same scene in real life.So recreating what we see in painting does not necessarily mean we got it right.Knowing the brain of an artist you could be more wrong than right..Logic and experience must come as well.
All best
One more thing, crest holder could as well be wooden..and painted. In that case I am certain, paint pattern would be 1000x more complicated with much more lines and symbols (see any Greek art of that time) than simply 10+10 checkered pattern,of five triangles.I believe it would be a painted piece of art by itself. This checkered,two color,two line,plain simple stuff is modern,absolutely modern.
