So I need some advice in two parts.

I'm aiming to paint up a Slaanesh force and whilst I wait for Wayland games to process the order I've been messing around with a photo of the models and trying to come up with a paint scheme. Thus far I've a feeling that I'll go for a typical Slannesh colour scheme (yes yes boring I know), though for the Seekers I'm aiming to paint the mounts differently.

Thus part one of the advice I'm seeking is a suggestion for a skin colour for the Seekers; below you can see a rough approximation of the colours I've already roughly chosen (note not my photo, as mine are not here).



At the moment its grey (as a result of desaturating the photo), however I'd like to go for a colour that isn't white nor similar to the typical slannesh colour blend; whilst retaining the choice of the dark reddy "fur", black scale and blue tongue.



The second part of the advice I'm after is paint mix advice. The black I'm pretty sure I'll find a myriad of schemes for typical slannesh armies; however the following parts I don't have any idea of what to use for:

a) Blue tongue
b) Dark red of the mane
c) Red of the eye

I'd welcome any combination suggestions for getting an effective colour for these. If it helps I've already got access to the following paints, though ideally I'd prefer to stick to the new GW paints, P3 or Vallejo and only use the old GW colours if they correspond well to a new version (I know that some do and some don't correspond well).
