While variations are more likely at the level of general officers, there is an established uniform intended for the wear of those officers on assignment to headquarters as well as general officers not directly attached to a regiment. The uniform combines the standard basalt gray of the line infantry with the azure blue of the Guards regiments.

Unit Profile: Grenadier Regiment von Platzen (Schwarze Grenadiere)
Grenadier Regiment von Platzen (Schwarze Grenadiere)
Inhaber: Colonel Rupert von Platzen
Commander: Colonel Rupert von Platzen
Depot: Platzenheim
Battle honors:
Already obtaining a reputation for their eye-catching black uniforms with red facings, the Von Platzen Grenadiers recruit mostly in the hereditary lands of the Landgraf von Platzen around the town of Platzenheim. The regimental Inhaber is the third son of the current Landgraf. While his older brothers were born to the Landgraf's first wife who died giving birth to the second, Rupert is the eldest son of the Landgraf's second wife, and much of the regiment is reportedly financed from elements of his mother's own family fortune.
In their first major action at Hirschtal, the Schwarze Grenadiere performed adequately in extended volley fire but failed to distinguish themselves by any major achievement, earning no battle honors.

A note on unit profiles
If you like the format I've set up for these, and want the HTML to achieve it, drop me a line and I'll send it to you.
The templates are free uniform templates made by David Morfitt and can be found on his Not By Appointment blog - http://nba-sywtemplates.blogspot.com/ David has a growing list of Seven Years War templates available, including Prussian, Austrian, and French infantry and a couple of types of Hussars. He's got more infantry and some cavalry templates underway.
The flags are from a template done by Jeff Hudelson of the Saxe-Bearstein blog. http://saxe-bearstein.blogspot.com
Many thanks to both of them for the use of the product of their labors.
