Contemporary descriptions would indicate Brown as well as grey(although this may have been faded black), keep in mind around the area dark indigo blue which would have been found, this from a distance could easily be mistaken for black

[gringo]

I hope to have the first tranche of Black flags,,Vietnamese royal guard..flashman and lady in limited numbers ready for Salute all hands on deck at present! ....in Wellingtons words it may be a close run thing!
