Dark blue
Secondary colour yellow, belts black.



Like with Napoleonic French army the darker the better but lighter looks better on the table.
Cloth from the period detoriated in colour and is very dark-almost black.

Thanks I had assumed that was the case but confused by the apparent grey tone in the pic

Bear in mind they should have yellow wyłogi(large patch of material in the front) like uniform in the photo not blue front like in the illustration (its garrison dress)

And white trousers in spring and summer.

What make me scared is that they would probably be more commercially popular than standard polish infantry for 1831 :>
