IIRC the Oxford Blues wore blue coats and blackened armor, as a switch from the more usual British Red. I think cuffs were red. It has been over a decade since I was really up on this. Another unit had a brass cuirass, over red coat/blue cuffs IIRC.

I can't put my hand on the old WRG Pike and Shot book. Everything has been a jumble since Katrina.

Honestly, for Dutch and Danes you can't go wrong with light gray and red cuffs. Uniformity in this period is more aspirational than attainable.

Pat Condray had some source materials as well.

I have posted your question on the Pike and Shot Society Yahoo Group. If I find anything I will let you know.
