As the current saying goes " at the end of the day" who is is going to see it? Just pick out a red and shade it as best you can and run with it. Perfection will drive you into a nursing home....

Agree with Wayne comments above. If you just pick a shade that "looks right", it probably is!

And an obsessive search for perfection and flawless "historical accuracy" will more than likely result in few (if any) completed models. Naming no names but I've known guys both online and in the "real" world who spend so much time on "research" they end up never getting anything done at the bench.

Bear in mind that the officers wore scarlet and the ORs red jackets, and that the dye faded on campaign.
