Perhaps there's a dreamy sort of effect added to the scene's realization or we are seeing through the eyes of Joey the horse...It is interesting that the poster captures the most typically associated shade.Brightstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14410494245020485728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857151838275945473.post-31646934245943290392012-05-03T16:23:07.383-04:002012-05-03T16:23:07.383-04:00The colour of the poster seems to most closely rep...The colour of the poster seems to most closely repesent khaki - although it could be seen in all shades, i'd say the poster colour is best representative. The colour of khaki used on War Horse, especially for the normal Infantry soldiers in the 1914 scenes is way too green, and Officer's colour khaki tended to be of a more greener shade than the 'normal' Service Dress worn by the regular soldiers. Officers also provided their own uniforms, hence the various differing shades in War Horse is accurate - unlike a lot of the film!Richard Hannayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15474693107129843095noreply@blogger.com
