So starting to build my Skitarii army and each FW seems to have its own color scheme. Wanted to find out any lore references on if Deimos, the GK Forgeworld had its its own Skitarii and its own color scheme

Mainly to keep some fluffy allies for my GKS when I start painting

Anyone?

Deimos was a moon of Mars, so wouldn't they just use the Martian scheme? The only reference to Deimos afaik is in the GK codex. Since it is hidden away it probably does not have interactions with anyone. It does not even have direct contact with the GK, according to the codex all transport and contact is carried out by servitors to prevent the AdMech from learning the GK's secrets (which would probably result in the AdMech trying to steal said secrets).

Isn't there also Deimos pattern Rhino-chassis? Particularly, Heresy-era Rhinos, Predators (including Infernus and Executioner) and Whirlwind Scorpius?

These are no longer being produced. The blueprints are being held elsewhere.

the closest thing to any info we get is the emperor's gift novel that notes the tech preists who make Demios home have a preferance for "silvery metals"

that said, I'd surmise that the forge world lacks Skitarii. given the purpose of the world it having it's own armed forces seems doubtful. more likely the inqusition and grey knights would supply any fighting men needed. in fact they'd proably object to the presence of a Admech armed force in titans orbit

I'd be using Deimos pattern a lot if it wasn't so expensive lol. Love the old skool look of them, and it fits with the Dark Angels having a lot of stuff left over from the Heresy.

You could go for a slightly different shade of red to show that they're from Deimos?

If I was going to design a colour scheme for Daminos skiitari, I'd go with white robes gunmetal augmatics, a cream undersuit, and use silver instead of bronze.

There is no fluff that specifically says it doesn't. If you were to reflect that you could do something similar to the GW GK color scheme. Orange cloth and silver metal, maybe brass or bronze accents on the metal like goggles and bolts...

Is there one place that lists the known colours of the various forgeworld forces?

So far all I know is:
Mars=Red
Deimos=Silver
Metallica=off white
Graia=Deep crimson/red split
