In the line units the colours were standard with no variation between regiments. Generally speaking they were a blue collar piped red with red cuffs with a blue flap all piped red. The lapels were the blue of the coat. Armourers had red collars and artificers red lapels. Pontonniers (part of the artillery) had blue cuffs. The Guard were the same except the cuff flaps were red. There were minor variations typical of the army at the time but as a rule of thumb, this should serve. |
