A crest was found at Vindolanda, that is now very black (dyed from the peat) but may originally have been brown.
Arrian describes cavalry sports crests as yellow "not for any practical purpose but to make a fine show". There are also mosaic depictions of crests in red and white. So you pays your money, and takes your choice!

Cheers
