In napoleonic time probably. :lol:
It seems to me like some brown-ish grey.

Jiang:
I have here the Osprey book 185:
The Russian Army of the Nap wars (1)
It shows Russian overcoats in:
Brown (looks a bit like 921 British uniform WW2)
Green (looks a bit like 979 German Cam Dark Green or 970 Deep Green)
Grey (looks a bit like 866 Grey Green or 991 Dark Sea Grey)
I think it was like the French Nap. Army: take what you can get and keep warm.
