Vegetable Dyes for Uniforms
Does sound feasible ...... but I can just imagine all the onion skins it would take for a regiments quota of these smocks !!
That the 1st Pattern Denison Smocks were made with vegetable dyes that were designed to be "washed out" if the combatant was in occupied territory. This made the smock look like the traditional French farmers smock and allowed the wearer to blend in.

United Kingdom I used onion skins to tie-dye t-shirts in the 1980s
As to uniforms being made to be washable, what if it rains?
