Colour sergeants are referred to and addressed as "Colour Sergeant" or "Colour" ("Colour Sergeant Hewitt" or "Colour Hewitt", for instance) in the Army, or as "Colour Sergeant" or "Colours" in the Royal Marines, and never by the more junior rank of "Sergeant". Unusually, NCOs with the rank of colour sergeant who hold the appointment of company quartermaster sergeant are still addressed and referred to by their rank, not their appointment. In Foot Guards regiments, colour sergeants are addressed as "Sir" and afforded the respect and privileges normally accorded to warrant officers. In [[The Rifles]], the spelling "colour serjeant" is used, in common with other Rifles ranks and appointments including the word ''serjeant''.<ref>[https://www.gov.uk/government/fatalities/colour-serjeant-kevin-charles-fortuna-killed-in-afghanistan "Colour Serjeant Kevin Charles Fortuna killed in Afghanistan", Ministry of Defence, 25 May 2011]</ref> |
