As stated before, there were many variations. Also, before synthetic dies the colors would be more muted than what we say on today. Also, keep in mind that this was before the era of mass production. A uniform taylor had to use what was available. Even within the same regiment a variety of shades of red or brownish red could be seen. However, since our regiments do not contain hundreds of figures I vary my shades between but never within regiments so as to give a more uniform appearance. I do vary the shade of red from one regiment to the next. That is what is fun about this period. It is very forgiving in this respect.
