What are the Cornish colours? Here are rugby players wearing gold and black shirts and socks – the colours of the Duke of Cornwall. Gold for the bezants to ransom one Duke from the Saracens many years ago. My husband has a necktie in those colours (a present from his uncle). Black and gold are in the Cornish tartan too, as well as white and black for the flag, red for a chough’s beak and legs, and blue for the Atlantic Ocean. I have a Cornish tartan scarf (a present from my sister-in-law).
