"Bolsheviks in 1920 Uniform Advice" Topic

Im painting up both sides in the RussoPolish War of 1919-20 and I've found some great information on various Polish units and uniforms. Not so much though on the Bolsheviks. Ive got the Osprey for the Red Army in the Civil War.
I also well realize that the Red Army was certainly not well uniformed during that time, some of it quite ragged and a mix of various uniforms. I intend on using a good variety of colors, uniforms, etc.
But in general what would be the most common color of their khaki during that timeperiod? I've seen figures painted in brown uniforms, figures painted in green uniforms by someone else. Those of you who dabble in the period, what's your best advice for me?
Thanks!

In the local war museum (I'm in Riga, Latvia), they have Bolshevik uniforms from the same period (1919-1920). They all tend (in these 5 examples) to a faded khaki. When brand new, two of them seem to have had a slight greenish tint. Variations on khaki/very light olive would work.

I would think any and just about all shades of khaki would be acceptable. I would not dwell on it. It's like painting ACW Rebs, as long as you are in the ballpark you are okay.

Pretty much as per late WW1 Russians but no shoulder boards. Khaki in various Greens and even some faded to browns and greys (dyes were variable at the time, even those from the UK, France and Germany), trousers may vary in colour depending on branch of service (blues for cavalry and artillery). Likely a fair bit of civilian clothes possibly mixed in the red Guard units (who were a militia rather than an army).

Apart from some notable units like the Lettish rifles, a general disdain for helmets.

Then you have the naval infantry (holding onto much of their black uniform as possible, but mixing other army kit in with it) who were favored for their technical abilities and know how and so generally kept in technical services and support weapons crews. So if the system you are using calls for basing in groups, you may want to put a sailor or two on some of the support weapon bases.

Something like Vallejo Green Ochre 914 would be spot on. But Khaki 988, Green Brown 879, English Uniform 921, Russian uniform 924, Dark Sand 847, Desert Yellow 977, Tan Yellow 912, Khaki Grey 880 would all work as well.

Thanks a lot, gentlemen.
