Now that you mentioned it, I seem to remember a black and white picture of OMON trainees wearing a beret, but the color was indiscinerable. I know their uniforms were khaki or tan color so I'll have to check to see if the tone is the same.
OMON wore pale bluish-gray berets. ODON had brick-red. But it could be that the trainees wore something different like tan berets. And didn't women wore blue berets during WW2? At least in 50's the famale beret was blue - just like the officers' trousers.
