"Do you differentiate " white " uniforms? " Topic

Doing 18th there are a lot of white/light grey/off white uniforms.
I'm painting Danes, French and Dutch for WSS all have " light grey/off white"
Would you use different light greys for the different nationalities? Or let the facings and flags do the job?

I even tend to use different greys within the same army, on the basis that batches of cloth would vary anyway.

Only if they were likely to stand next to each other. If separated by any distance you won't notice.

Its worth noting that at the Schellenberg, the defending Bavarian infantry thought the Dutch who had outflanked them were French initially!

I use an a very light grey for French, I think the Dutch are a little darker, though still light grey.

I will differentiate whites by using pale grey or mustard yellow as a base then highlight with oyster white.

Like steamingdave47 I tend to keep some blobs of "off" colors when painting a unit, and mix in a dab here and there. That's within a unit. I guess I would try and differentiate armies.

I even tend to use different greys within the same army, on the basis that batches of cloth would vary anyway.

And I likewise.

I differentiate greys for the "Marlburian" period. My French have a neutral light grey, Austrians a darker, bluish grey.

White for tunics/britches, off white/cream crossbelts, Army Painter when dry, makes a huge difference.

I would like to recommend the Andrea colour collection white, which gives good whiteshades as well as great coverage. i am very happy to have bougth this set, and i am painting Austrians.
The Andrea red collectioon is also great.

You don't need to use just grey when washing white uniforms.

While grey is the most staple color I think blue and yellow are also option and give different feel.
