colors of the beret

[yeden]

My dad was a PPCLI during the Korean War, he wore a maroon beret. My uncle also a PPCLI, did not see combat see combat. My dad wore a maroon beret, I do not know with color my uncle wore.  Was it possible for my uncle to have the same beret color as my dad????  I know, dad was airborne, and my uncle scared of heights.
