If you are interested in painting the horses up to look like particular
Napoleonic regiments, the percentages may just be irrelevant anyway.
Many cavalry units bought and rode horse of one single color. Color
dominance is related to breed. Leg and face markings are idiosyncratic
to the point that they are often used to identify horses in breed registry
papers (along with photographs of the horse's chestnuts in some cases).
If you find a good book on horse breeds, you might get an idea of the range
of colors. I believe there is a book solely about horse colors with a
title like "The color of the Horse" (or something obvious like that).
My tack supply catalogs are at home, so I can't be more precise now.
