Just wondering if Bungie ever gave a reason to why there are two shades of colour within both the [url=http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090429172020/halo/images/2/24/Sangheili_Minors.jpg]Minor[/url] and [url=http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071112050453/halo/images/a/ae/Major_Elite_Variations.jpg]Major[/url] Elite ranks. It's been bugging me forever.
[u]EXTRA QUESTION:[/u]
While we're on the topic of Elite armour, can anyone also give me a reason why Elites also sported [url=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/1/1f/Elites.jpg]two variants of armour[/url] in Halo CE? I suppose this one has been bugging me for longer than forever.
