"Very easily distinguishable orange"? What if you're a royalist and you wash your sash too often, and get mistaken for a parliamentarian?

Why not go with blue or green or yellow or some other significantly different colour?

It isn't the English Civil war. It was the British Revolutionary war.

Hey guys! Why is Popham wearing a Sri Lankan Kastane in the portrait? Ceylon wasn't even an English colony of Britain then so I'm quite interested as to how he may have acquired it.

The Wars of the Three Kingdoms began in Scotland in 1639, then in Ireland, then in England and finally in Wales. It's misleading and inaccurate to refer to the conflict in England without putting it into its proper context.
