Most, though not all, British uniforms were red and did not blend in very well with the woods that they were fighting in. This is where the name "redcoats" came from, which you may or may not have heard about. The uniforms stood out, thus making the British pretty much the opposite of camouflaged. Hope this helps! Let me know if you'd like more information!

~cddsuperstar hello cdd also the british wore different clothing for their rank so the generals and high commands were spotted easier

Some British units had uniforms of other colors. For example, the British Legion, a regiment of dragons, wore green uniforms with black lether helmets.

They wore red wool uniforms with black leather boots. In the colonies these uniforms didn't work very well. On hot humid days on the east coast they were very hot to wear. There was no air conditioning or fans and wearing wool suits buttoned up to the neck had to be awful. The red color also made them a good target.
