Kalen Delaney asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Hi Lois!I was in a bit of a funk so I reread Cordelia's Honor and caught a couple of things that I hadn't noticed before. I will have a separate post for each. #2 At the Council to confirm Aral's appointment as regent, it says all the counts are in scarlet and silver. Why not in their house colors as in all other Council of Counts gatherings?

Lois McMaster Bujold
You have a choice of two explanations: it was an early work and I hadn't worked out all the details yet, or it was special dress for certain sorts of Imperial ceremonies only.

Ta, L.
