Hola, debo ser un torpe porque no consigo encontrar de que color son las cureñas de los cañones sajones. Seria para la artilleria a caballos y para la campaña del Danubio 1809.
Muchas gracias por adelantado.

The Saxon guns were traditionally painted in black and yellow. The woodwork was painted in an oily paint similar to creosote. The metal work was painted yellow. I have visited the Konigstein fortress and I've seen the guns displayed there.  I can only conclude that the yellow used to paint the guns nowadays is a modern synthetic substitute for the real thing, as they are painted a startling bright yellow. One of my customers described the colour scheme as 'bumblebee artillery.' No, the real colours must have been more muted than this as natural pigments were used. I suggest using a brown ochre for a more natural yellow.
