So I'm looking into starting a Dark Eldar army. After reviewing the codex and crunching the numbers, i decided to go with a Cabal style army lead by Duke Sliscus. I read his flavor, and decided to go with a Sky Serpents theme, but i cannot find any thing any were telling me the color scheme they use. Any ideas on this?

Also, if there is no scheme out there, i would like to do the blades maybe a bright/neon green, and for the armor I was thinking along the lines of a dark orange and black. If so, what would be good supporting colors for the dark orange armor and bright green blades? I feel that gold/bronze with green is cool, but not with orange. Is silver metal my best bet for green and orange?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks to all

A tip for future... Use a colourwheel. If you want to paint a certain colour, as the secondary colour, use what is directly opposite the colour you have chosen.

In this case, I also wanted to do a black and orange armour, and opposite orange is blue. So this is what I've used and I'm very pleased with it.

On your models, it may look a bit much with the bright green also, so possibly try a dark silver?

Here's mine;
