Can you guys help me with creating a new fun colour scheme for my orks, I enjoy using bright colours and would like to mix up a few without making the thing look too odd.
This ruin is my test case the picture isn't that good but you might get the idea once I name the colours used.
These are the colours I am using right now.
Blue: Sotek green + Temple guard Blue + Washes
White: Ogryn cammp + Ushapti bone + some mixed in white + washes
The planning is do a few traditional white / black checker pattern panels and I do not want to use chipped weathering or the rusty look instead I am using the spotted ink / washes method.

Does any one have a good idea for 1 or perhaps 2 additional colours I was thinking of adding green perhaps orange/red or yellow.
I have the feeling that there might be a lizard men paint scheme that would just be perfect but I can't find the one I am looking for.

I really like it. I'd vote for dark red as a spot color myself - use it sparingly though, maybe just do a few of the white teeth in red and the odd junk panel?

I don't know... I love that blue and metal effect you've done, I wouldn't want to add anything to that. Given the orks will have green skin anyway that's already a lot of green and blue, I would be very reluctant to add another bright colour

Maybe a few panels done in a kinda pale, washed-out orange could work? I think that would contrast against that blue nicely.

...really though, that scheme looks quite nice just as it is
