Does anyone know what color the British artillery carriages were painted? Were the barrels bronze or black?

TIA.

In the Crimea, the carriages would still have been gray with black iron-work. Iron barrels (rifles) would have been black, bronze barrels would have been polished.

I second rmaker's statement for what it's worth :)
