These are the colors (Testors) which I've found most closely match the pictures (boxes, Osprey books, etc.). For one shade colors, here are the Testors numbers; black (1149 or 1749), white (1168 or 1768), gold (1144 or 1744), silver (1146), steel (1180 or 1780), brass (1182 or 1782), flesh (flat-various available shades or mixtures). All "XF-" colors are Pactra. Testors is sold in Europe under the name "Model Master".
ALL COLOR NUMBERS ARE TESTORS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.
NOTE: colors based on "Military Uniforms In Colour", Preban Kannik, Blandford Press, London, 1968.,
"Uniforms of Waterloo", Philip Haythornwaite, Arms and Armour, London, 1996, and the box art.
NOTE: The term "epaulette" is used for shoulder straps and actual epaulettes (extra material on shoulder).

Some countries changed sides often during this period. The "allies" listed here are those who remained loyal to France until the end.
