The topic concerning the Swedish uniforms is a typical one. Making things short, it seems evident from sources that not just the colours but even the uniforms (above all after 1626) were "uniformed" and provided by the central governament.
At the Battle of Lutzen in 1632 partecipated different coloured regiments: the Yellow Regiment, the Old Blue Regiment, the Green (Life) regiment , the White Regiment and of the new levied coloured regiments: the New Blue Regiment, the Black Regiment of Wildenstein and the Black Regiment of Thurn.
As far as we know, the Thurn's black Regiment had blue uniforms, while it has to be considered dressed in black the Wildenstein's Black Regiment.
The fact that the regiments had black uniforms is confirmed by the fact that Wallhausen in 1621 discourged to issue black uniforms. This means - at the contrary - that the black uniforms DID exsist at the epoch; we also know that in 1630 the Royal Wardrobe issued expensive uniforms for black regiments all confirming that there were Regiments wearing black uniforms and colours.
So I prepared my templates for 1 out of the 2 Black Regiment at the Battle of Lutzen (the second was by sure dressed in blue as majority of Swedish troops) and this regiment is the Wildenstein's Black Regiment.
