Many people have asked about the various colors of the patches worn below the Metal Badge on the beret patches worn by the Fourth Degree Honor Guard when in uniform, and what these colors signify. They are as follows:

Vice Supreme Master Light blue patch
Master Gold patch
District Marshal Green patch
Color Corp Commander Purple patch
Navigator White patch
General Membership No patch

Once a Sir Knight attains an office, he is entitled to wear the colors of that office until he elected or appointed to a higher office, except for the Marshal (appointed by the Master of District) and the Color Corp Commanders (appointed by the Navigator) who are appointed for a specific term and then revert to their previous colors when that term expires.

If you wish to join the Assemblys Color Corp, contact your Color Corp Commander and let him know.
