I can't seem to find a reference on the carriage color of the Brunswick 7YW battalion guns.  Does anyone know what color to paint them?

Off hand no, but have you tried Kronoscaf? Just had a look myself and no info on carriage colours. Gunners' uniforms look similar to Prussian and they were subsidised by Britain, so if I were doing Brunswickers I would probably go for blue.

I'll ask on the Honours of War site, where there are some pretty knowledgeable Germans.

I've had a look at the various sources I have (incl Kronoskaf)
and, while they are all clear on the gunners' uniforms, none of
them have any information about the carriage and metal colours.

I must admit that, for my own Brunswick artillery, I will use Prussian
colours (blue) for the reasons given above.

The consensus on the HOW site also favours blue for Brunswick guns.
