Brilliant painting, but shouldn't Legere have blue trousers? Of course there are exceptions to every rule, especially when it comes to Napoleonic uniforms!

excellent painting - I'm still getting over the fact that they're 15mm.

I can't focus that well to paint 15mm like that anymore so my C18th troop just get the basic colours blocked in - looks fine en-masse at normal viewing distances.

I think Aaron's right the regulation uniform for legere was Blue trousers but in the field they would have grabbed whatever was available once the standard issue wore out.
