The Colour, also known as Flag and sometimes changed to be called Color (because of American English), is the flag of a nation that are used as a tool by the Colour Bearer class. It is the only tool that varies per nation.
The Flag gives a melee swing speed boost to nearby allies, thus increasing their attack rate with melee weapons.

Pros and Cons
Pros:
- The Colour gives a swing speed buff. Even if the flag is unequipped, the buff still affects other team members.
- Very large and see-able to teammates.
- Gives a little flair when your team is crashing into the enemy fort with those shiny bayonets.
Cons:
- Takes up the space of a possible firearm.
- Very large and see-able to enemies.
Glitches:
- When pulling out Colour of any nation, crouch right after pulling out flag and you will be able to walk while crouching, mainly making players call you a "Crab". Can be an advantage when behind small walls as your small hitbox makes shooting you harder.
