Sure i know that David. I just meant the colors of armies Red or Black for coalition group otherwise not about adding 4 coalition armies, French & Coalition groups are great enough sir.

If you admins decide about orange so course it will be orange but just i always thought blue is French uniform main color so coalition could be one of 4 major factions main uniform color ? like red, green, black or yellow etc which could look as good as french.
And i would prefer Anglo Red or Prussian black tbh. But as i said up to you.
Thanks again great work, i suggested this to previous admins 6 months ago like smileys, forum avatars etc. so i am glad now all is completed with your initiative.

The thing is that the colors are added to group or to individual... By individual it's tedious as you can imagine.

If the administration of the forum wants to go further they can add more groups. :wink:

According to me 2 groups (French vs Coalition) are better than more groups cause otherwise forum will become a rainbow which is not very serious :frenchhappy:

But British Red color would just be good for coalition instead of orange? as it is the most crowded major faction in NWC Allied armies. I dont think Prussians,Austrians and Russian armies feel bad for the red coalition color? :frenchwink:

Probably they will be grateful when they login.So i used the term a bit early :russianveryhappy:
And probably you would be grateful to Pierred too if i change French group color to something which never exists among your uniform colors. :frenchwink:

Some regiments of Dragons had "rose foncé" (dark pink) color on their uniform (such as the 13 or 18 regiments). So there is no shame in it.

The Lanciers de Cleve-Berg had a complete pink uniform in 1807... :mrgreen:

Course not a shame ... like orange is not as well but what i say is you cant think of a pink color when the issue is French Uniform. It is symbolized with blue mostly on forums. Or when you say coalition against Napoleon you think of 4 major nations first of all, like Prussia,British,Austria or Russia. So red is one of these 4 majors color thats why i am grateful to pierred and coaltion officers will soon.
Other than that i respect Lanciers de Cleve-Berg no doubt. But it is really interesting you insisted on orange that much cause we talk about the coalition color now not French. Maybe French can be Orange here then instead of blue? :frenchwink:

Orange is a good fruit. :D

It's also the color of the Netherland soccer team and Orange is the new black according to a TV show :frenchlol:

And some Dragons Regiments had that color...

I actually liked the orange. It is the color of many unit facings & flags in the various Coalition armies and will be on the Russian HQ soon, at the request of Vladimir Repnin, as it is the colors of the Order of Saint George, the highest military honor in Russia and named after a central figure in Russian history.

Of course how can we forget the Dutch-Belgian and Nassau troops too....

Orange is everywhere in the Coalition. :D

I am not against orange, just it is only not one of napoleonic coalition major factions’ color. Yes it is good with fruit ‘orange’,with a ‘soccer team’ and or with tv shows but not according to Napoelonic Era. i like it on your signature J So if French is dark pink on this forum then coalition can be orange without doubt. But then forum may look like a shoping forum but not so important as long as it is fair for both armies. :frenchwink:

Sure we have orange but we have other minor colors as well in the coalition like orange.
But Blue is French major color in napoleonic era for forums as we all know. So we as coalition deserve a major uniform color as well, like red which we have now mate :frenchwink:
