Not sure what you mean there? it appears to be a trick of the light(or photography, your unlikely to see the original colour unless its with MK1 eyeball, somthing that should always be remembered when viewing images with no control), in other photos in the book it seems to be a dark to medium red(sort of burgundy but redder) with blue bands as decoration, in other pics he wears a complete yellow outfit, the book includes mostly photos of originals and reconstruction with associated text, but it is well illustrated... as well as some riding about in circles throwing javalins of course.... at the original price of 22€ I'd say it was easily worth it... the text is in german though so it likely only to appeal to german readers...
Having looked again I assume you mean the illustration on "Decorated Roman Armour" in this case I would say I dont consider it a problem....

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
