France sent some dozen regiments to fight with the Americans against the British. At the time of the Revolutionary War, French troops did not as yet carry a national or royal colour; nationality was designated by a white "cravat" tied to the pike head.
French infantry regiments at the time carried one colonel's flag -- all white, and 14 "drapeaux d'ordonnance". I think all 14 were identical within the regiment, and most regiments featured the white cross.
