A Study in Emerald is sort of like Star Trek Mirrorverse, if you’re familiar with it :) It’s dark, but it’s fun. Check out the graphic novel if you’re not sure: in case you don’t like the concept, at least the art style is superb.

Re: uniform: as far as I could gather, during the Afghan campaign the everyday uniform was khaki-coloured, while dress uniform was a scarlet tunic with blue trousers. You can google paintings of the Berkshires in the Battle of Maiwand for reference.

I also found a website called uniformology, a real treasure trove of British 19th century uniforms!
