Mustard Yellow Carpet

Since shortly after the Union Military was formed, it became common practice to cover interior floors of military installations where carpet would be appropriate with a Mustard Yellow Carpet.

History
When the militaries of what became the first Union Members first started working together, even prior to the Union coming into existence, each had their own set of rules, regulations, operating procedures and rank system.

After the Union was formed, several committees were formed to plan the merger of the four existing militaries into one. When the committee responsible for proposing to the Assembly the standards to follow in the permanent bases and facilities, it included the selection of a number of colors for the ceilings, walls and floors based on their "average psychological value." Included in that list was the use of a specific tone of yellow carpeting in most interior locations. .

While many of the minimum standards for ceiling height and minimum room size has changed since those early days in the Union, the color of the carpet has remained the same for nearly three thousand years.
