I can agree that the RVO robes in brilliant blue and red are very vibrant, especially for those enthralled with the current love of stark / monochromatic colour schemes.

Tastes / Fashion have not always-- and will not always -- embrace Minimalism: look around the interior of the ancient Westminster Abbey and its Gothic - Neo-Gothic design and the Sacred Liturgical Rituals occurring there which consecrate and elevate the Monarch as Head of State.

Look at the official context: the Monarchy is not about Hollywood + slavishly following Vogue fashion plates 24/7.

The Ancient Orders of Chivalry (and their robes) are not randomly chosen by anyone including the members of the Royal Family. The Sovereign must invite you to be a member of the Royal Orders of Chivalry.
