Louis XIV flags, which side the colonel?

[Aksu]

Hullo,
I am painting my first ever lace era battalion, regiment Lorraine from the Sun King's army, and am going to use two flags for the unit. The white colonel's flag and the colourful regimental colours. However, which one is to the right (when facing the same way as the regiment?). I have seen photos of figure painters placing it either way...
Cheers,

My expectation is that the 'place of honour' (right hand side) would
be taken by the white Colonel's colour.

Thanks Glorfindel. My thoughts as well, especially after I just read a minute ago somewhere that the Colonel's flag is a representation of the King's authority. What confused me was looking at the pics on the League of Augsburg site, where many of the units are showing the coloured flag on the right.

Every army in H&M, Kings colour always on the right of the two (as seen from behind)

The King's colour on the right is true of British regiments in the mid 18th century, and probably true before that and in other places, give the widespread perception of the right being the "place of honour".
However I've not seen a definite source that indicates this was the practice in Louis' army, though I think its probable (I'm no expert, such a source may be known to others). Bear in mind that French battalions usually carried 3 flags per battalion; the king's and 2 company colours in the first, 3 company colours in the rest. That was the official allowance, and the frequently carried more; at the beginning of the period it was 1 flag per company. German regiments may have continued this practice, for instance Alsace was noted as having 24 colours between four battalions in 1705. So its also possible that the king's colour goes in the central position between the two company colours.
