In Lou Drendel's book "..and kill MiGs", there is a painting of a MiG ejection. (Hasn't got it here, but i think the chute was red and white). Drendel seems to pay much attention to detail and is by the way a parachutist himself.
Best regards

They may have had the odd brown patch since the early Zvezda seats accommodated a seat rather than back pack emergency parachute.
