What colour should Duchy of Warsaw guncarriages be painted? I assumed French artillery green; but period pictures show a dark shade that might be Blue/grey. Since they were given Prussian captured guns, woould they be in Prussian colours?

IIRC the consensus of the earlier TMP post of similar question ( cannot locate) was that they were left in the color of the originator. Period close to 1807-09 probably has many capture Prussian ( 1806) with French issue replacing for 1812 campaign launch. So you are on the right track!
I believe Stephen has great information on the Artillery situation by campaign and will hopefully chime in as well as others soooo sit tight!

Contemporary prints show them grey with red wheels – so much nicer eh?

Green Tiger – I want this to be true. If they really were grey with red wheels, I'm getting some Polish artillery.
