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!

What are the French army colors?
That's like asking, how long is a rope? It depends which branch of service, what location, what rank, and what period you're talking about. In the short time between the start of WWII in September 1939 and France's surrender in June, they generally wore the same traditional colors of ther French Army as seen in WWI. In the field, they would have worn field gray/green/brown uniforms and webbing gear, like most contemporary armies. The most commonly worn army officers' service tunics were what we would call tan (think of the French Foreign Legion uniforms you've seen -- those were really just Army uniforms). However, they also wore everything from pure black to pure white versions, depending on their posting and the season of the year. Army officers' fancy parade dress uniforms would have been of the classic "French blue" color. The traditional French "kepi" style of cap would also be worn by all ranks. However...all of the above applies to the time before their surrender in June 1940 (and afterward only among the so-called "Vichi" French soldiers, who collaborated with the Germans). The non-Vichi "Free French" combatants of WWII were either partisans who worked underground doing espionage and sabotage wearing non-descript street clothes, or exiled French soldiers who found their way to Allied territory (mostly England) and later returned with the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. Most all of these soldiers wore British-issue uniforms with French unit and rank insignia, so to get an idea of their uniforms all you have to do is look at the British soldiers' uniforms, and change the patches and unit insignia from British to French. That's the short answer to your question, though, as I said, there is no such thing as a complete answer to it. Eric L'Artista
