The Dutch had a small presence in the Carribien during pirate days and thier
flag was mostly green. However, I don't believe that they had a royal navy
down thier, and if they did, I wouldn't know what color uniform they had on.
But just for fun and if you wanna put it this way:
Green Coats: Dutch
Blue Coats: French
Red Coats: English
Armada Coats: Spanish
For another way of looking at it, you could use the coat color as a symbol
of rank/status. For instance:
Armada Coats: Treasure Fleet Gaurds
Blue Coats: Royal Navy
Red Coats: Royal Millitary (Ground Troops and Weak Navy)
Green Coats: Coast Guard, Millitia or Traders, You Choose!

| (...) Thanks to my blatant lack of any blue officer torsos, I had to come up with a similar solution for my new project as I'm crewing it. I scanned a red officer, then a blue trooper, and recolored the red officer with the blue trooper's pigment. (...) (24 years ago, 28-Apr-02, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.pirates)
