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).
