The best I can think of is a fairly er, standard bonus to leadership and
morale.  The commander of the Corps rolls his leadership at one die type
higher, and all members of the regiment within sight of the standing colors
gain a +2 to all guts checks.
In Deadlands: High Noon, a Union Blue player using troops of the Corps
d'Afrique and carrying the colors gets to draw an additional fate chip at
the start of the scenario. If an opposing player can gain and hold
possesion of the colors, they gain an additional 50 points, 100 if the
player was Dixie Rails.

I can't really think of a taint for such an item with an honorable and
noble history - except for the fact that it is only used during periods of
armed combat.
