probably depends; the coat went through a lot of evolution, at least since the early 18th century. I remember them being referred to as 'lobsterbacks', because of the tail part of the coat, but I'm hardly an expert on the uniform..;)

 I do seem to remember that armies of that era had coats in all sorts of colors, depending on the function of the unit. Might throw in some shades on the coat for different types of solder/sailor/marine, etc.

"Die hard men, Die hard" - exhorted by some officer in that general era...;) I'm a master of fuzzy information...;)
