We were talking about the shields, before I went off on a tangent as usual. On the one hand I just don't see them being too consistent. OTOH, I am a big believer in paint your army the way you like. If they look better to you in absolute uniform colors, go for it!
FWIW I feel the same way about folks painting an army to their preference. At least getting in the ballpark historically is important to me, but that's my thing, and of course, hitting that ballpark can be pretty problematic depending upon how much we may know about a particular period's military uniforms (or lack there of)

An amazing technicolor dreamcoat of an NKE army (as opposed to Hebrew)--that might be quite a sight.

Problem is I can't make a chorus-line because I can't yet find any minis with one leg kicking out like can can dancers...
