"Changing artillery colours" Topic

When did the french change the gun, Limber and carriage colours from grey'blue to green?

I thought the French artillery colours were red during the 7 years war and French Indian wars?
I didn't think they had carriages of blue/grey, but started using olive/green during the Revolutionary period. Anyone with more details?

They changed from red to blue/bluegrey and then to green

Intéressant.
Je ne connaissais pas ces changements de couleurs.

An extension to this question. Did the US have blue-grey carriages or green in 1812? I've seen sources that show either.

Here's the best I've found, trockledockle, and it says "mostly blue, but also olive green, red and sometimes gray."

My gut feeling is that olive green became more common as we shifted to block (or "stock") trails c. 1818, not looking the same as British being an important consideration. And on the same thinking, I'd expect the French abandoned blue--the royal livery color--about the time they proclaimed the First Republic. But I'd trade a lot of gut feeling for a very short written order in either case.

it was transitional, in the French Revolution you see already the "green" to appear, but the grey ones were still in use, in fact there are two Martinet plates showing a gunner with a grey and also a green artillery carriages, the old waggons, build in the Ancien Regime stayed red

Robert Piepenbrink,

Thanks very much. That's very useful.

Vw thanks for the info.
I thought that years ago a simular question was asked here on TMP but cannot find it.
I also cannot find an official reglement which give the official orders to change the colouring. I suppose there must be something.

I have painted my FR guns/limbers and caissons in a blue grey colour but suppose have to change that
