In general, Italian uniforms were GREY, but not the Grey-Green like the Germans. Their uniforms were a fine gabardine material. However, many Italian uniforms worn in the field were more GREEN, especially the winter uniforms. Of course, the desert troops wore TAN. And the Italians, like the Germans, had WHITE summer dress uniforms. Note: In the movie "Captain Correlli's Mandolin", the color of the uniform appears to have too much BLUE tint. But this movie has some great examples of Italian Uniforms of WW2. At first, I thought the yellow insignia on the hat was incorrect for an artilleryman. Most armies use YELLOW for Cavalry. But the Italian army used YELLOW as the branch color for Artillery. RED was used for their elite units.
