Black hat, yellow trim, white shirt and cravat, red coat, blue epaulette, gold buttons and trim on sleeve, blue breeches and hose with red ribbon, black shoes, buff belt and brown wooden apostles. Pikeman had blue coats, instead, as the red jacket was not yet official.

Here are some plates. Nº12 on third image is a Garde Suisses musketeer and the last image shows them in 1697 uniforms.
