I'm going for orange (GW Golden Yellow washed with Baal red) jumpsuits and dark grey (vallero dark grey washed with badab black) armor for the pentient ones, but what colors to use for the penal custodians and other officers (who are obviously not criminals)?

I've thought a bit about a lighter shade of grey (Codex grey washed with badab black) uniforms, and the dark grey on armor to tie them a bit in with the prisoners. However, I feel that this can look a bit drab and boring by itself, and might get a bit lost in the orange sea of jumpsuits.. Any suggestions?

Also, for the vehicles, I'm using orange or dark grey base color, with a fat stripe a bit off center in the oposite color.

I'll try to get photos up, of my prototype models, as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Sarge.
