I really want my upcoming Ork force to be fluffy, so I've decided to paint their armour in different colours that represent different things.
The ones I know of are:

Red: Da red unz go fasta!

Blue: Lucky (unconfirmed)

Black: 'Ard

Yellow: Rich

Purple: ?

Green: ?

Purple iz sneeky.

Green iz Orky, ya git.

Yer roit, bloo iz fer lucky gitz. Roit dere in da cod... coxex... da book.

An' green iz da only proppa color.

My two teef

I love threads that dissolve into Orkish babble ^_^

I thought orange or blue was sneaky? All I remember is the sneaky color is not that sneaky

Purple is the sneakiest colour because you've never seen a purple army, have you?

Never Expected it.

But if there is a color of Orkish stealth, it has to be purple. Because, hey, you've never seen an purple Ork.

Haha well written, have an exalt!

What's all this about zogging 'purple' and 'orange'? What sort of weedy git comes up with some color like that? Sounds like a pointy-eared panzee.

There's red and yellow and blue and green. Them are the colors.

Black's not a color, now is it? If you can't see something--it's black. It can't have a color, coz you can't see it. S'like asking what color a spanner is in the dark.

White's not a color either. When your grot bleaches all the color out of yer socks, they turn white, right? So how could it be a color when it's what's left when you take out the colors? Simple.

Now, what you panzees is calling purple is actually either a reddish blue, which is to say a really quick type of lucky color, or a bluish red, which is a really lucky type of fast color.

Orange is a fruit. There's not a pineapple color, or a gooseberry color, or an apple color. Zoggin' panzees. Next you'll be painting yer wagon "ecru" or some nonsense.

Yuu dun no notin' if yuuz tink purple an' orange ain't got meenin', jus' ask dem tankbustas an' kommandos (zoggin' unorky gitz)

An' black iz a color unless yuu tink yuur some panzee artizt or somtin'.

I once knew a guy who represented Red Paint Jobs on his Ork vehicles by painting them blue and saying his Warboss was colour blind.

Purple paint job should grand stealth.

Unseen until the last second, it's a bright purple trukk.

That would be brilliantly confusing for everyone involved.

Ork kommados wear non matching camouflage for example an snow camo armor with desert camo trousers. Only pansy eldar wear purple

Red: Speed and Evil Sunz clan
Blue: Luck, Deathskullz and Lootas
Yellow: Rich and Bad Moonz
Green: Orkiness

Pink trukks should grant stealth and shrouded. Have you ever seen a pink trukk? Exactly.

I am TOTALLY building a purple and pink Trukk.

Oi, listen up ya gits. Here'z dere be eksplanashun fer dem colours:
Green iz roight an proppa, cuz green be dem Orky colour. WAAAAGH! Green iz best.
Red iz da fastest colour cuz da red unz alwayz goez fasta.
Dem Goffs iz ded 'ard an dey'z be black, so black be da 'ardest colour.
Yellow iz da flashiest colour. Diz be cuz teef are flashy an dey'z be yellow. Dem Flash Gitz an Bad Moonz (lazy gitz) 'ave lots of teef cuz dey be painted yellow. Yellow iz da shootiest colour too, cuz more teef = more dakka.
Dem Deffskullz alwayz find dem best gubbinz. Diz be cuz dey'z be painted blue and blue iz da luckiest of colours.
Purple iz da sneakiest colour. Cuz you'z neva see a purpul Ork, roight? Dat iz how sneaky dey'z be!

He should have said it was moving so fast it appeared blue, and as a result it can move twice in a single turn
