OK, as I write this I realize that I don't have many followers.  I hope that as my army grows, so will my following.  Anyway, for those who are interested and willing, I am looking for an opinion on colors for my ratlings.  I am using the old metal ratlings who were wearing button up coats.  Here is a picture of them. (not mine)
Should I paint them red to match the normal infantry, or with dark green which was the historical color of the Rifle Regiments during the Anglo-Zulu Wars?

My thoughts right now are red just to limit my color palette.  I appreciate any input.
