Marc hi

You might want to post this kind of question in the Uniformolgy section of the forum, and it might also be worth a search of that section as I'm pretty sure people have asked similar questions before

Osprey do two books on the subject part1 covers the Prussian Army (MAA416)

Wargames foundry used to have a painting reference giving colors for units of the Prussian and French armies. I looked at their site and the only thing I could find is a book/booklet that is available for sale.~Gary

I have a complete set of FP War Uniform specifications which I bought from a UK bookseller (Hersants?). If you tell me which specific units you are looking for I can provide the uniform colors and regimental colors for either the French, Prussians Bavarians, etc.

Here is a website with many German uniforms of the period.

Actually, let me give you the main web URL since that German site has numerous information on uniforms: http://www.grosser-generalstab.de
