From history books we might get the impression that Ben Franklin costumes need to be grayish off purple or off blue grey color. It seems most of our history tells us this is the color Ben Franklin wore most of the time. But, he also wore black, brown, and any number of colors of the day.

The most important element of a Benjamin Franklin costume is glasses, black (or charcoal grey) pants, and a white shirt (colonial). Then you can have a vest or a vest and coat. Ben was an inventor so he may have most often worn his shirt and vest without a coat until he was going out or it was cold.
Think of Ben Franklin’s coat as a lab coat (like a doctor would wear but darker colors).
