Lobositz Prussian Cavalry Colours

So following on from yesterday's post, I've continued my research to determine the colours of the cavalry regiments. Whilst doing this I quickly realised that I would have to seriously expand my paints collection - not used to having to paint bright colours! First of all the Kurassiers (Cuirassiers) which are also wearing a blackened cuirass:

Regiment	Coat	Collar	Cuff	Turnbacks	Saddle
2	Yellow	Red	White	Yellow	Red
3	Off-White	Dark Blue	White	Off-White	Dark Blue
5	Off-White	Light Blue	White	Off-White	Light Blue
6	Off-White	Red	White	Off-White	Red
7	Off-White	Yellow	White	Off-White	Yellow
8	Off-White	Dark Blue	White	Off-White	White
10	Off-White	Red	White	Off-White	Dark Blue
11	Off-White	Light Blue	White	Off-White	Light Blue
13	Off-White	Red	White	Off-White	Red

As you can see - plenty of variety in the colours - I miss painting Horse and Foot for this reason - the armies look so much more vibrant. The Hussars are their traditional bright colours as well:

Regiment	Coat	Headgear	Pelisse	Collar/Cuffs	Saddle
1	Light Green	Brown (Green)	Dark Green	White	Dark Green
2	Red	Brown (Red)	Dark Blue	Dark Blue	Dark Blue
7	Yellow	Brown (Yellow)	Dark Blue	Yellow	Dark Blue

Finally the dragoons which don't have as much variety but still. They will still also have variety as opposed to their opponents.

Regiment	Coat	Waistcoat	Lapel/Collar/Turnbacks	Cuffs	Saddle
3	Blue	Yellow	Pink	Pink	Pink
4	Blue	Straw	Straw	Straw	Red
5	Blue	Straw	Red	Straw	Red

All in all very excited to get this lot painted up - each Regiment will be 9 figures strong on a 3" by 1.5" base so plenty of room to make dioramas.
