Question About the Army Service Uniform

[Gorgo]

A question about the officer's rank insignia on the shoulder straps:  Is the background color of the rank straps supposed to be in the approved color of the branch of service (i.e. light blue for infantry)?

It appears the background color inside the shoulder boards is dependent on branch/rank.
