Why does my OCP patch or name tape look lighter than previous issued patches and name tapes?

In an effort to standardize insignia across the Army, Air Force, and Space Force, The Institute of Heraldry collaborated with PEO-S to transition each branches insignia. The OCP rank insignia, badges, name, and service tapes are now a lighter, three-color background pattern instead of the previous seven-color pattern. This modification aims to enhance readability and facilitate easier recognition of ranks, addressing the challenge posed by the previous seven-color background. By simplifying these features without compromising the overall functionality of the uniform, the transition seeks to improve situational awareness in day-to-day interactions for military personnel.
