When passing the colors, at what distance is the hand salute rendered?

Explanation:
When the colors are passing, honors are given within a fixed window to keep the ceremony uniform. You render the hand salute six paces before the colors reach your front and you continue to hold it until the colors have passed and are six paces beyond you. This six-pace-before and six-paces-after window ensures precise timing and consistent show of respect for the colors across the formation. Starting earlier or later would disrupt the alignment and the ceremonial rhythm.
