What were the uniforms in the World War 1?
The colour of uniforms for each of the armies partaking in WW I depended mainly on two criteria:firstly,the certain nation' s tradition and secondly,to which of the two coalitions (the "Entente Cordiale" and the "Central Empires" that army belonged. In somewhat broad terms,one would conclude that the armies of the German allia-nce almost from the start of the carnice,went for uniforms coloured in varying sha-des of green (for instance,the well-known "Feldgrau" uniforms of the Kaiser' s infa-ntry and the dark green uniforms of the royal Bulgarian army).On the other hand,the armies siding with the Anglo-French,being more numerous and of more differentiated geographical and historical backgrounds,only eventually ended up using the famous khaki uniforms,and even then,some of them (the French and the Romanians most no-tably) "snobbed" the certain colour (in the case of the French,possibly,because khaki was first adopted by the British colonial forces serving in the Indian sub-continent,some 25 years before 1914 (after which,other armies gradually opted for khaki,for example,the Greeks in 1906-8).

What are the French army colors?
That's like asking, how long is a rope? It depends which branch of service, what location, what rank, and what period you're talking about. In the short time between the start of WWII in September 1939 and France's surrender in June, they generally wore the same traditional colors of ther French Army as seen in WWI. In the field, they would have worn field gray/green/brown uniforms and webbing gear, like most contemporary armies. The most commonly worn army officers' service tunics were what we would call tan (think of the French Foreign Legion uniforms you've seen -- those were really just Army uniforms). However, they also wore everything from pure black to pure white versions, depending on their posting and the season of the year. Army officers' fancy parade dress uniforms would have been of the classic "French blue" color. The traditional French "kepi" style of cap would also be worn by all ranks. However...all of the above applies to the time before their surrender in June 1940 (and afterward only among the so-called "Vichi" French soldiers, who collaborated with the Germans). The non-Vichi "Free French" combatants of WWII were either partisans who worked underground doing espionage and sabotage wearing non-descript street clothes, or exiled French soldiers who found their way to Allied territory (mostly England) and later returned with the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. Most all of these soldiers wore British-issue uniforms with French unit and rank insignia, so to get an idea of their uniforms all you have to do is look at the British soldiers' uniforms, and change the patches and unit insignia from British to French. That's the short answer to your question, though, as I said, there is no such thing as a complete answer to it. Eric L'Artista
