Rifle Green?

[OC Richard]

The Army doublets are of a colour called Archer Green. It is extremely dark and is quite often mistaken for black.

Those sites are calling it Rifle Green, possibly because it was worn by The Cameronians, The Scottish Rifles.

Here it is! Yes those doublets are Archer Green



Archer Green doublets were first introduced by The Cameron Highlanders in the 1840s, for their pipers. By the late 19th century the pipers of all the Highland regiments were wearing them. In 1953 Archer Green coatees were introduced to all ranks of the Highland regiments.
