When the commander of troops commands "Colors, center, pause, march," the colors typically take six steps forward before halting. This movement is part of a ceremonial drill where the colors (flags) are positioned properly within the formation. The halt allows for the colors to be aligned correctly with the troops.

The color guard typically halts at a distance of six steps from the commander when receiving the colors from the color commander. This spacing allows for proper formation and visibility during the ceremony. The exact number of steps may vary based on specific military branch protocols or unit traditions, but six steps is a common standard.
