Dont include grey or brown within your choice. I'm thinking that practically any combination of 3 colors is atleast semi-pleasing. Prove me wrong

How do I get that? It's from an object. What object, you may ask? Well, you stare at it constantly when you write.

Considering that the liking of certain colours is almost universally subjective, I think that there is no right or wrong answer here.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Basics of colour theory say that you're wrong.

Some colours just don't work together.

I'm sure they do say that i'm wrong, but i'm also sure that out of the billions of people living on this planet, there can and will be many exceptions to that statement.

There's a football team here, the Fremantly Dockers, who have purple, red and green as their three colours. Their jumper looks like ass.



A while ago there was a debate about teams redesigning their guernseys to look more distinct from each other and the Fremantly coach quipped 'we don't have to worry about clashing with other team's uniform, our uniform clashes with itself'.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

On topic. It's not which colours, it's the pattern of them and how they're used together. I think all colours mentioned in the thread look good.

Slaanesh loves all color combinations. That said, electric pink, pale yellow and dark red probably don't work together-but Slaanesh would love it anyways. Damn...painting Noise Marines IS hard work...
