The Osprey book of uniforms of the Austrian Napoleonic army infantry.
The book lists all of the units and their facing colors and national origins.

thank you both so much. i am familiar with the facings. this was however a list of paints which were found to be the closest in appearance to the facing itself using acrylics. thanks peter will check these out. charles

the link by 11th ACR – gives faulty information and is at best disregarded, for example regiment Nr. 7 had brown facings and not blue.
There was recently quite a good discussion on TMP were reliable data was made available
