Imperial Artillery Uniforms

I'm presently starting to build an Austrian Heavy gun position Battery for use from 1690-1717, but I've run into a problem with the uniform/cuff colours.

There seems to be plenty on Dutch, English, Prussian, French etc

but when it comes to the Austrians I seem to get conflicting information i.e. anything from Pearl Grey to a Fawn Grey

Can anyone confirm the Coat/cuff colours please

Funcken Lace Wars shows a grey coat with dark red cuffs in 1710 and that's what I used.

It wasn't clear for the officers so I used a dark red coat in contrast.

Many thanks, I'll go with a mid-dark shade of grey with red cuffs
