Though the [[combat harness]] is only one variant among many other Sangheili harnesses, the term "combat" is sometimes used off-handedly in a synecdochical manner when referring to other Sangheili harnesses, as the combat harness is the most basic, well-known, and widespread armor variant.<ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''pages 56, 60''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''pages 28, 48''</ref>
The Covenant Empire originally applied a fairly structured coding for both combat and ceremonial roles—with Sangheili-derived livery choices subsisting on the margin.<ref name="Clarity"/> After the empire's collapse, the armor color coding loosened significantly.<ref name="ArchiveGrim"/>
