I use the Foundry triad for French Dragoons. |

Any green you like. Historical colors varied by dye lot and weathering, and historical rdepictions subject to license, and aging. We won't ever be accurate. |

Mick +1 I also recommend a brighter green than the real cloth would have been, as this will improve the contrast on miniatures John |

I recall Humbrol enamels produced a lovely green in their Napoleonic range of paints, aptly-named: French Dragoon Green. |

Check out the painting book by Archiduque from BreakingWar. He lists out the greens used for French Dragoons. |
