Details of Barrayar I have forgotten

[beatrice_otter]

Do we know what Padma's Da's name was?  We can presume his father's name was Ivan, as Ivan would have been named after him.  Do we know what Aral's older brother's name was, or Aral's middle name?

What are the Vorbarra colors?  Are they red-and blue like the colors of the imperium, so that Barrayaran soldiers in parade dress are in fact wearing Vorbarra livery?  Would there then be a difference between livery and a military uniform?  I'm pretty sure we only see Gregor wearing nice suits and military uniforms, we don't see him ever wear his House uniform.  Of course military uniform usually trumps House uniform, but it doesn't always seem to.
