And BTW, color blindness effects many more people than most think, and to varying degrees.
There is also the matter of what is "fact": The research you refer to is far from basic - sources are many and contradictary, and may even all be correct given the variance in standards, the impact of weathering under different climates, age of uniforms, and the frequent changes of uniform standards (further complicated by the frequent instances of units not following them anyway) during the period.
My take is that the single truth of uniform colors is unknown and may not exist at all. Which, instead of resulting in a nagging doubt which detracts from the enjoyment of NTW as a staggeringly beautiful visual achievement, gives us freedom and flexibility to choose what we want, personally, in our games.
My 2 cents, for what its worth.
