This may be a bit of a strange question, but what colour of hair do the Salamanders have? I'm currently making a scout squad for them and wasn't sure what colour to do the hair.

Any thoughts?

I would say white or some shade of grey.

If I recall correctly, I believe in the trilogy, a number of characters had either white or orange/red hair.

When I painted my Salamander scouts, I did their hair gray, deliberately using drybrushing to try and get an appearance similar to ashes. I think it worked out pretty well. (Telion looks particularly smashing in green and gray.)

White/grey will give you the best contrast to the jet black skin.

With Chaos, Tzeench would probably turn your hands, feet and face into
scrotums, complete with appropriate nerve endings. Then Khorne would
force you and all your friends to fight to the death using your new
scrotal appendages. Once they get tired of that, you get tossed to

end up in Nurgle's clutches and he uses you as a loofah.

Some Blood Ravens would like to speak to you...in private...not to mention White Scars, Space Wolves, Blood Angels (already mentioned) among others.

On-topic, I'd say if they didn't shave it, it'd black or grey, or maybe even brown, but raggedly or thinly cut, and with considerable heat damage.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

That is the most over-done skin/hair uber-ominous crap.

Sallies have yellow/blonde hair.

At least they used to.
