I am trying to find out the uniforms of the NY Levies specifically:

Levies 4th Regiment - Col Morris Graham
Albany County Militia, 4th Regiment - Col Kilian Van Rensselaer

My ancestor Justus Wolcott served as a SGT in both of these militia units.

Did you try contacting the NY State Military Museum in Saratoga Springs? They may be able to help you. You can get their contact information from their website.

Since the militia was not a permanent standing army unit, it is unlikely they had uniforms. The militia had quite enough trouble getting adequate arms and ammo without subjecting the local population to the expense of uniforms.
