Rank insignia in the French army, depends on whether the soldier belongs to a "infantery" or "cavalry". All sleeves are emblazoned with marks denoting either the infantry or the cavalry. In the infantry the main insignia colour is gold, but in the cavalry the main insignia colour is silver/white. However, the artillery uses gold as the main colour, despite being cavalry, and the spahis use gold as the main colour despite being part of the cavalry, a division representing the armored cavalry.
