What colour was the German uniform in ww1?

Answer 1

The uniforms were normally a Karki or Grey colour. The uniforms were said to be very heavy and uncomfortable for the soldiers to wear. Therefore, they just didn't like the uniforms, but it wouldn't really matter when they were fighting in a war lol.
The uniforms worn by the soldiers of the First World War were made of wool. This made them very uncomfortable in the summer, and constricting to move in. The boots were like today's running shoes, which sometimes were known to fall apart! The wool puttees wrapped around the soldiers legs made moving a challenge, but were a nice addition to the uniform in the winter months. The tunic was once again, wool. On the tunic were pockets and pouches for various things. One soldier could carry ammunition, their field dress kit, kit bag, and mess supplies on their back along with their rifle, bayonet, entrenching tool, personal affects, and many other things at one time! As you can imagine, running about in a charge in knee deep mud with all this on you was a challenge itself!

Answer 2

The colour of uniforms for each of the armies partaking in WW I depended mainly on two criteria:firstly,the certain nation' s tradition and secondly,to which of the two coalitions (the "Entente Cordiale" and the "Central Empires" that army belonged. In somewhat broad terms,one would conclude that the armies of the German allia-nce almost from the start of the carnice,went for uniforms coloured in varying sha-des of green (for instance,the well-known "Feldgrau" uniforms of the Kaiser' s infa-ntry and the dark green uniforms of the royal Bulgarian army).On the other hand,the armies siding with the Anglo-French,being more numerous and of more differentiated geographical and historical backgrounds,only eventually ended up using the famous khaki uniforms,and even then,some of them (the French and the Romanians most no-tably) "snobbed" the certain colour (in the case of the French,possibly,because khaki was first adopted by the British colonial forces serving in the Indian sub-continent,some 25 years before 1914 (after which,other armies gradually opted for khaki,for example,the Greeks in 1906-8).

Answer 3

The short answer is, there is no short answer. As with most armies, there was considerable variation in the color of Geman army uniforms during both World Wars. But generally these were variations on a color the Germans call "feldgrau," literally field gray. It is a medium neutral earth-tone that sometimes looks more gray or green -- and sometimes even blue -- depending on the maker, the dye lot, and the conditions under which it is worn. Wartime economy measures and shortages often made it impossible to maintain perfect consistency.

In both Wars, the German Navy wore the dark blue-black common to many nations' naval uniforms. And the German Air Force, after it became separate from the Army in 1935, adopted a medium gray that leaned more toward blue.
