Bug Description
IronCurtainColor tag only controls the color that units get when they get an Iron Curtain effect (both from SW and weapon). Buildings are hard-coded to use the black color (not even 1st color from ColorAdd section, but always black). The flash generated when hit while the IronCurtain is active on an object is always black too.
ForceShieldColor tag only controls the color that buildings get when they get a Force Shield effect. Units use IronCurtainColor when affected by Force Shield. As for the flash generated when hit while the ForceShield is active behaves, i don't remember if it uses some hard-coded value, or ForceShieldColor value.
This happens in no-Ares YR.

Just a note, I wasn't entirely sure if i should post it as a bug or feature request. This looks like a bug to me, as the way it works appears to be completely counter-intuitive. It might also be a side-effect of Iron Curtain color being hard-coded in RA2 (there were no IronCurtainColor and ForceShieldColor tags, nor ColorAdd section in RA2).
However, this might be how WestWood actually intended to implement it...
