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 word "colors" means flag in the service. The command, "present the colors" means to show the flag.
I have heard that for sailor the colors represent port and starboard, Port is left and starboard is right. So a green star would be starboard and on the right, and a red star would be port and on the left. if you are returning home. I dont know what present colors mean but i know the colors for sailing and that sailors used the nautical star as a tattoo for guidance
