Does anyone have recommendations for acrylic paint colors for Butler's Rangers jackets and pants? Thanks in advance.

In the 18th century, there were no colorfast dyes. So, any faded shade of green would be fine. In fact, to be more realistic, vary them.

Uniform or campaign dress? The coat/ jacket would green as stated above maybe a faded color. The pants / trousers can be leather brown or tan, maybe a yellowish linen or faded green.
