Perhaps the poor light would make it difficult to distinguish between
the extravagantly colorful "Macaroni"s and their poorer cousins,
dressed perhaps in tasteful "Snuffs and Buffs and Grays"?

Apropos of nothing, the line in the song "Yankee Doodle" has
intelligible meaning for me at last --- our Yankee dandy feels that to
add so much as a feather to his costume is a bit much, and declares the
offending  drab (or perhaps I suppose dyed) feather "Macaroni".
