Question

A friend is going to knit me a period comforter (I don't knit, myself) and I want to know what colour I should ask for?

There is the possibility I may end up wearing it while in uniform at some point. (I'm Other Ranks, in the 50th Foot during the Peninsular War - 1808-1814). I already have a pair of black fingerless mitts, but I am aware that matching scarf-and-glove sets are relatively modern, and very likely wouldn't apply to Other Ranks back then anyway.
