Good ones are only found in the more exclusive libraries... Any reading material you could suggest that's tailored to the Chremonidean-era Greeks?
I was referring to thureophoroi in the broadest sense, incorporating Hellenistic sources from Epirus to Bactria. The best sources for colours for thureophoroi are terracotta figurines, for which we have examples bearing colour from the Bosporus, Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, Egypt and Greece. There are also a few other sources which are mostly frescoes and painted funerary stelae.

For Greeks, I unfortunately only know of coloured votive models of thureoi (most notably quite a few found in a tomb in Eritrea) and not models of thureophoroi themselves. All the iconographic depictions of thureoi from Greece that I know of date to the second half of the 3rd C. BC or later, so unfortunately nothing directly related to the Chremonidean war.
