There is no real evidence, I believe. There are one or more figures on the Abdolymus sarcophagus that may be light troops and seem to be in a shade of Purple. Purple clothe was very expensive at time, but Alexander captured a lot from the Persians. He used the Agrianians a lot and they seem to have had a good status within his army, so IMO it is a reasonable assumtion that they may have been in Purple.

I did mine in Purple with various white details, and there is one not very good picture of them here:

Cheers Will - some good looking figures there!

Mine will be an early version so no captured cloth yet.

red was a good colour in the ancient world, cheap to buy and it bound to cloth easily. otherwise whites and off-whites or creams seem to be common on vases and the like.
