If you are asking about the American Civil War, there were no Hessian units at all.

In the American War of Independence, they wore blue, Prussian-styled uniforms, and either a tricorne, fusilier cap, or grenadier cap. Hessian riflemen (jeagers) wore green coats instead (with a tricorne)

What were southern soldier's uniforms like during the civil war?

The ideal Confederate uniform was either a beechnut brown, or grey. It looked similer to the Union uniform, though adapted to Rebel classifications. Many soldiers did not own real uniforms, as the Confederate government was unable to supply all of its soldiers with complete uniforms. Many soldiers just wore their own clothes. Some took the uniforms of dead Rebel soldiers, after a battle or skirmish, for their own use. This was common especially when one was in need of shoes, as many soldiers had to go barefoot as the War progressed.
