according to a series of books called the 'white indian' by donald clayton porter the seneca used green and yellow. i do not know how well the book was researched. paint may have been a clan not tribal thing, or completely individual. you are kind of thinking along the lines that tribes had uniforms of some sort which i find questionable. it seems from colonial french observation that the huron were partial to black. but even then, some black and white, some black and red.
