What colour was the US uniform during World War 2?

The color of uniforms during World War 2 depended upon the military branch and the types of uniforms used in battle, for dress and the season. For instance: The Naval uniforms had white winter uniforms and black for winter. Their working clothes were dungarees (denim colored) and the officers wore khaki clothing. The Army had a dark green uniform for their dress uniform and olive drab or khaki clothing for work or battle dress. They also used camouflaged fabric for the infantry but they hated it in Europe because they were often mistaken for being a German. So they refused to use them. The Marines had dark blue dress uniforms. There clothing was similar to the Army. The Sea Bees wore khaki and green. The Coast Guard wore the same colors as the Navy. The US Air Force had not been formed yet. The fliers were part of the Navy and Army. They wore the colors of their branches. Women's uniforms were similar colored but of course they had skirts and slacks. The Nursing Uniforms were mostly white for their working outfits but the dress uniforms were either green or dark blue according to the branch the women served.

Why did the continental army wear blue clothing?

The Continental Army actually had a number of different uniforms it used before going with the famous blue uniforms as the standard. In the early war, the Army wore Brown or "nutmeg" coats with facings of different colors to differentiate regiments from the different states. In 1777, as a gift to the young nation, the French sent thousands of blue coats with red facings. They were referred to as "lottery coats" since there were not enough coats for every soldier and a lottery was drawn to determine which units received uniforms. In 1779, George Washington issued uniform orders for the entire Continental Army making the blue uniforms official with facings of red to signify units from the Mid-Atlantlic States, white facings for New England, and buff facings for the Southern States. In 1781, all uniforms were blue with red facings. So to answer your question, the Continental Army wore blue clothing because blue was the color of the uniforms the French gave us. To this day, the U.S. Army wears blue dress uniforms ... all because of the French!
