Grey. At First Bull Run, one of the Confederate units wore blue, and the Union artillery held their fire till too late. This largely helped to swing the battle to the Confederates.
The Battle of Franklin was fought on April 10, 1863. It was a Union victory that helped to make the Confederates of Tennessee discouraged on how well the Union did in the Rebel state.
Their battle cry was, "Banzai!", a Japanese version of the, "Rebel Yell" from the Confederates during the US Civil War (1861-1865).

The officer assumed they were Union ... the Confederates overran the cannon and captured them. The hero of the day was Stonewall Jackson. As several battalions of Confederates broke and began to run, Jackson rode up and stood his ground in plain view of the enemy. His courage was infectious. The Confederates stopped their retreat and held the ground. A Union force of three times the size of the rebel army was stopped and forced back across the Potomac.

Bull Run (Manassas) is the first credited use of the Rebel Yell.
The Rebel Yell of the South was a sound that observers said would curl your toes and knock your socks off. It was the early excited yell that the Confederates sounded as they prepared for and headed into battle. As the south slowly lost the war of the northern aggression, there was hardly sufficient strength to yell
