Mercenary colour schemes?

[Blofeld]

Does anyone have any ideas for a two or one gone colour scheme for some jerkins on the Perry foot mercenary figures? They're a fictional company so historical accuracy is not an issue. I'm looking for something striking that looks good on the table
Thanks

Why not go a bit early Landsknecht / Swiss with parti coloured or striped hose and single or halved colours on the jerkins. You could also mix in some buff / canvas for variety

[Lowtardog]

Yellow and red checker patern or combination is always a winner

[Stuart]

And mix it up, lots of colours, no uniform as such, possibly some field signs if you like.

Would be great for Maximilian's early campaigns in Swabia, Wars of Burgundian succession and not forgetting Stoke field

Milanese, Scots and Flemings.
Not very historical in any respect

[Blofeld]

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. What paints did you use for the red/ brown and the off white.on the Scots?
Thanks

For medieval, the later you to, the more the colour combinations should make your eyes bleed
