    For most armies every regiment had different colours. Sweden had what was called "enhetsuniform" (unity uniform) with the idea of a blue coat with the turn backs yellow for everyone, so most were blue-yellow but cavalry often wore blue-blue, some infantry regiments were blue-red and some were blue-white. But low quality troops often got cheap coats, especially later in the war for Sweden, often grey-blue or grey-yellow.

    Interesting Jonas. I did not know that.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
