Confederate gray

Confederate gray was a color associated with the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War (1861-1865). It was a muted, dusty shade of gray used primarily for soldiers' uniforms and flags, symbolizing the Confederacy's identity. This color was chosen partly because it was practical—less visible on the battlefield and easier to produce than brighter dyes. Over time, Confederate gray has become an emblem of the Confederate cause and is often used in historical references, illustrations, and memorabilia related to the Civil War.
