Interesting idea. I'm happy to stick to white/grey for the AT-AT drivers
though as the BTM CD only has this uniform listed for AT-AT drivers, yet
also has the Sandtroopers, Stormtroopers, and Snowtroopers listed as
different troop types, which tends to indicate that the infantry have
specialised uniforms but vehicle drivers do not (after all, if they're
inside a vehicle it's unlikely that they'll need to be wandering out in
hostile conditions unless something goes wrong, but then again it'd class
having a 50-80 foot vehicle demolished by a small grenade as a serious
problem!). Then again there's nothing saying that AT-AT drivers don't wear
other uniforms, so your solution seems pretty reasonable.
