I need a new color scheme for the eldar army I want to start.
I want it to be nice and vibrant without white or yellow because they are difficult to paint.
Thanks to those that are willing to help!!!

Why question if the glass of water is half full or half empty? The glass is refillable.

The biggest advice I would give with Eldar is whatever colors you do go with, go with rich, vibrant colors. Purples, dark reds, and dark blues do especially well, as they temd to convey a sort of regalness that suits Eldar well.

Bone with a glow.
then you paint some parts of armour according to "personality"
And you paint the gems in all sorts of colours.

For the vehicles and weapons paint them black and void like...

Purple and yellow, with black weapons.

Do you want to do any of the existing Craftworlds? Make up your own Craftworld/color scheme?

I wanted to decide on a color scheme before I got the codex so Iwould be ready to get/paint the models and know which to get.

I'm a big fan of the Ulthwe' colors myself. black and bone. (It helps that the first time I saw this color scheme, it was in a model in visions though, I admit.)

I agree on the rich, vibrant colors though.
