Back To Black - Black Caps for Soldier Sprites

Are you like me and have been slightly annoyed at the military infantry sprites and their bright, colourful headgear, which belies the fact that, historically, the overwhelming majority of European Victorian military uniform caps tended to be black or otherwise darkly coloured?

No?

Well whatever. Here's a damn mod to address my extremely niche pet peeve. I dyed their caps, belts, boots and cuffs black.

Furthermore, I have also taken the liberty of dying the vests of the European militia sprites (which have, until now, been country-coloured) black, to drive home the fact that they ARE civilians with no access to military garb. I have given them tattered sashes in their respective country colours instead.

CAVEAT: I am also aware that there existed many, MANY exceptions to the style of dark European military caps (most notably the red or white kepis of the French Army), but they were generally in the minority and not as representative of that period's fashion tastes, and it's not like the game's present colouring format could do these uniforms justice anyway. 
This is also my first Workshop mod for ANY game, and it's an extremely basic accomplishment (consisting of me messily painting over some model diffuse files in GIMP). Therefore, I apologise in advance for any inconsistencies, bugs or other fruits of my incompetence.
Also, this mod is 100% AI slop-free. Amazing, don't you agree?
