I'm seriously considering painting these in the traditional purple and blue. I'm not sure my homemade yellow and green colour scheme will work well unless I want hybrids to look like the old racist yellow Chinese.

I can understand your concern! If I go with my old hive fleet colour plan, my hybrids will be black. Very black.
But in the way the studio-painted hybrids here aren't bright, saturated purple (the third and fourth generations seem more pale, starved of sunlight) I think you might get away with it if you don't go straight yellow, or the sickly greenish yellow used in old propaganda. Paint ranges have more subtle shades, suitable for yellowish skin tones of any ethnicity. Ungor flesh vs. Kislev flesh, for one example

If the 1st-2nd gen hybrids are made a bit more yellow, I think it'd be fairly easy to tell that's coming from the space-alien part of them, rather than any human.

Originally I did think of trying to mix between my yellow and ordinary flesh paint but wasn't really sure it would work well with my painting skill. I never consider using looking for naturally yellow skin paints though. I've got most of the VGC range so I'll have a look and see what I can find. Thanks for the idea.
