I believe the "dark brown" on Geonosis is actually the red paint primer. That specific pattern only appeared on said planet, which houses their factories, and IRL, paint primer is added before the outer coat, which would make sense if they just rolled off the assembly line.

[@PJOZeus]

Definitely very much so gave the 'not quite finished product' vibe - Don't suppose the place making them would care about aesthetics much, save a few credits on the paint job and just send them out immediately, no corporate shenanigans

[@WellPreserved404]

Actually, if it’s canon, muunilist had those color of b1

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

no the canon is that its camo.
we see examples of darker brown droids with the officer (like the one windu kills) and other markings (like their individual unit numbers on their backpacks), you wouldn't put those on primers. also there is extensive battle damage on the paint for the movie droids. you wouldn't see that with fresh primer.
the droids are simply the garrison droids for the planet. tan ones are universal/expiditionary while garrisons for major cis worlds got camo.

[@ragerancher]

Always found it funny how they had droids driving the tanks rather than just having the tanks as droids themselves.

[@noobkin6995]

In the clone wars there is droid gunship where the gunship/drone is just a droid so they did choose to make it for that but not the tanks for some reason. Maybe droids in tanks look cooler?

[@PaxKishania]

​@@noobkin6995 Just a thought, no idea if this is canon: They may be pre-droid army (i.e., earlier trade federation) tank designs that were already in production and easy to continue. That would also explain why later designs like the gunships seen in the Clone Wars and RotS are simply droids themselves.

[@pparisps5141]

​@@noobkin6995 the explanation for that (in universe) is that the separatist army wasn't something the CIS had much time to plan and organize, so the separatists simply bought or rented all the military equipment they could find in the galaxy, they bought droids from Geonosis to be their soldiers, but also bought some ships and tanks from other planets and companies (made to be driven by humans) and so they had to make droids drive those as the CIS had nearly no organic soldiers

[@strf90105]

@@pparisps5141 that makes sense. Droidekas and Droid starfighters were literally imported from alien species and are made to look like them. Even the B1s vaguely resemble Geonosians. It works as an aesthetic counter by being not speciist and diverse in shape and origin as opposed to the Empire and by extension the Republic going so far as to make a taboo clone army just to have uniform human-species army

[@TheIronDuke9]

If there's anything SW lore is good at, it's backfilling the logic holes with "canon" explanations. That's what happens when the creator has a bunch of ideas but no real plan on how to realize them but makes the movies anyway

I like how both the clones and droids have yellow for commanders and red for security..
(Phase 1 yellow clone was commander, and red clones being the corruscant guard)

[@Private.Willie.Stroker]

You could also argue that it's the same for blue since we saw allot of clone pilots wearing blue, but the yellow helmet markings are probably the most iconic cw pilots..
And phase 1 blue clone where lieutenants

[@KAKU_64]

Not really.
yellow meaning commander, red meaning captain, blue meaning lieutenant, and green meaning sergeant. However, as the Clone Wars progressed, the colorized markings began to identify the troopers with specific units(phase 2). And other colors, or for example the pilots wearing blue, it was just customized by the clones themself to make them distinguishable from other clones.

[@andrewmalinowski6673]

If going by TOS division colors; Red: Operations/Engineering, Blue: Science/Medical, & Gold: Command
TNG era; Red: command, Blue: Science, teal: medical, & Gold: engineering/operations
Somehow I can't help but think yellow on the B-1 equates to OOM-series

[@toddhoward2462]

My question is why do commander droids even have yellow marks? Can’t droids just tell who is the commander because they are a literal computer. All the yellow marks probably did was make them a clear priority target for clones

[@andrewmalinowski6673]

It was probably to distinguish them among the organic commanders, given the fact the commander in one TCW episode pointed out another droid to save his own backside saying; "I'm not the commander. He's the commander!"

[@michellepatino8733]

Nothing funnier than the droids when it comes to star wars for me. I just now got to play jedi survivor and they are hilarious as always.

@@BehindSpear-throw yep but they could think differently about the meaning and the functions of colors. For exemple, they ( the separatists) consider that yellow is the color to represent commanders.
