Dear Graham, that makes sense. Yes, you are very right about the pink. Most "reenactors" are very reluctant displaying pink :-)
What´s the "OP"?
Shields on the (most probably) Augustan esquiline fresco are mostly white, btw.

The older one has light blue / grey and IIRC from an other pic also a white one(s) somewhere.

The question is, what is depicted here in what fashion, with which intension... Together with the apparently white wool / felt on the Fayum shield we do seem to have some points for white shields for the early principate.
