France recruited from its holdings in Morocco and Algeria. Arab/North African men formed units of infantry called Turcos and light cavalry called Spahis

Brits: Khaki green. Germans: Grey. French ?.... BRIGHT FUCKING BLUE.

France did shift to a more inconspicuous blue later in the war. African and Asian troops wore khaki for most of the war iirc
