Ray,
In my opinion, you should go with Hall. On page 66, footnote 147, and Page 67, footnotes 148, 149 and 150 he provides lists of clothing purchases for the regiment. These were taken from the Hessisches Staatsarkiv in Marburg, and all of these mention “rottuch” or red cloth. Also the Gerpines List for 1691 describes the unit as blue/faced red.
Hope this helps.
