"Painting questions for The Buffs." Topic

I'm painting the 3rd Regiment of Foot, The Buffs, and have a few questions. In some paintings, the pants are buff colored, but in other paintings, the pants are almost black. In some paintings, the buff is like the Vallejo buff color, but in other paintings, the buff has more yellow. Any thoughts

"Buff" is a facing color that is unique to each regiment. There is no paint that's correct for all buff facing regiment.
In the AWI and earlier, the trousers, facings, small clothes and straps are all buff.
I can't comment on the Napoleonic era.

I agree – dibble – did present a huge amount of officer portraits – showing a lot of different hues of buff – some almost white.

I'd go with this:

Uniforms are later than Albuera but, frankly, who cares?

If it doesn't show up, Google "Battle of Albuhera, by William Barnes Wollen"

Thanks. I may add a little yellow to my Vallejo Buff color. The pants look like dark grey, but with a touch of blue.

As von W told us, not so long ago some very useful info here on Buffs;
