Please help me find any images France 16 Chasseur-a-Cheval regiment uniform after 1812 (after Barden's reform) - short tails, etc.
16eme Regiment de Chasseurs a Cheval - french blue, light blue or turquoise regiment color?


Color plates need for painting Italeri 6080 French Light Cavalry

The only information I can give is that the colour is Light Blue.

The 16th wasn't at Waterloo, so it's hard to find information on them.

On the box-cover from the Italieri set is the 16eme Chasseurs. But in the 1809 uniform. The problem is that in 1812 there were no 17th and 18th regiment in the Bardin regulation. So the 16th was the only one in light blue


Here a listing of the uniform-details



See here the plate from Vernet who shows the 17th (not existing) regiment



So simply take these boys, give them a blue collar and you have the 16eme Chasseur a Cheval.
