Orcs appear particularly disgusting because their colouration - brown or brownish green with a crimson sheen - highlights their batttle scars and massive fangs. Their bristly hair is a dark brown or black, sometimes with tan patches. Even their armour tends to be unattractive - dirty and often a bit rusty. Orcs favour unpleasant colours in general. Their garments are in tribal colours, as are shield devices or trim. Typical colours are blood red, rust red, mustard yellow, yellow green, moss green, greenish purple, and blackish brown.
