New thought: Could this mean "purple with yellow stripes" and "blue with green stripes"?

Came across a hugeass image of Archer and his pips. They're very three-d, quite different to the TNG ones. And well, could they possibly be multicoloured??
Granted, it might be a glitch in the vidcapping or a bizarre reflection off something on the bridge, but, um, look for yourself:

I took a look at the third UPN Enterprise promo, and they had some uniform close-ups. Malcolm Reed does wear red division stripes. So red definitely is ship's services. Sato is wearing an aqua color for division strips. The scene of Dr. Phlox had him wearing a lab suit or leisure clothes (couldn't really tell).
So, if they are maintaining a continuity with the TOS division colors, aqua is the one for sciences. But why would Sato be wearing aqua? My guess is that at this point in space travel, communications is more a scientific path since the universal translater isn't really developed and Earth is still encountering a lot of new races without knowing their language.

Secondly, it looks pretty clear that the services dept. colour is in fact a magenta. I think the writer at zap2it was referring to these when he said "purple." Reed is clearly a Lieutenant.
Thirdly, a good close-up of Admiral Forrest's uniform, which shows a fold-over collar on the jacket part and what looks like magenta outlined with white (!) division colours. Bizarre. The white might be shiny gold that's reflecting under lights, but it's still a little weird.

Looking at that picture of Admiral Forrest, I noticed something about his rank pins. His three pips don't appear to be in a box like the TNG admiral rank pins were. In fact, it looks like the only way to distinguish between line officer and flag officer is that the flag officer has rank pins on both shoulders. Interesting.

Uh huh.
