Austrian ADC's

In my Austrian army my corps and Division commanders have opted to wear the cherry red pants with their bright white uniforms.
My Brigadiers (attached officers) and ADC's (command points) have all ended up in all white.
Brigadiers are on 30X45mm bases ADC's on 30X60mm bases. Occasionally I end up picking up a Brigadier by accident when returning command points to their commanders.

I think somewhere I had seen a painting of an Austrian commander and staff and thought some of the staff, ADC's?, were in dark blue uniforms. Would certainly make it easier to spot them. Anyone know for sure that was what they wore?
Thanks for your help.

The Austrians had some 'staff dragoons' you could use as couriers - cheavaux leger uniforms with the green jackets according to some, white jackets according to others.

Staff officers had a dark green jacket, black collars/cuffs & red turnbacks. White pants or grey overalls.

Thanks for the link.
I get 2 mounted officers in each box of Victrix figures so no lack of staff officer figures thats for sure.
