The Sabres use the same scheme of the 5th Sword of Light unit, flat red with no highlights.
Per Staterbook Sword and Dragon, page 32.
After the Combine-Bear war, the Sabres were attached to the Otomo. Wishing to retain the identity and tradition of Sorenson’s Sabres, they did not switch to the Otomo scheme, but in a compromise to save face, they have added gold highlights.
