There are many and varied opinions about this subject. I believe that the majority of them will fall somewhere in the "your models, do what you want" category. There are some, however, that may feel that stuff should be painted as canon.

As for myself, I believe that you can paint your models however you want, within reason. Pink Orcs, as stated above, would be dumb, to me. There's no reason for them to be pink. There's a biological reason for the green skin. There's reason for blue partial skin (warpaint), etc, but nothing for an all-over pink-skinned Ork. For example, I stray from the traditional patterns for my Eldar Aspects. I keep my Scorpions with green helmets and accessory parts, but their armor is primarily brown. My Banshees are blues and tan.

So, blue warpstone? Why the hell not? It's the warp. Anything can... and will... happen.

Dude, Paint it exactly as you want it.
that is one of the great things about this hobby.
You want Pink Orks? Sure
Blue Ogres? Go for it
Orange Space Marines? Have fun.

And if anyone tells you different tell them to sodd off (in a polite way if at all possible)

Do whatever you like; I painted my Screaming Bell's arch unrefined warpstone (almost black) going towards a refined (green) colour.

Skaven skin can be whatever colour you like too, well maybe not green I guess. That'd be weird. But anyway, they are multicoloured, not just their fur too. For ease of painting a horde army I think more tend to stick with one skin tone, the Ratskin, shade, layer, layer approach (with black or red eyes) but it's not the only way. About the only thing I think you'd want to steer clear of is making them all white, since that's a special colour in Skaven lore, meant to represent power and being blessed by the Horned Rat, like grey seers are. (well that's how I remember the bit I read in the Skaven books/wiki)

And just don't add green to the machine if you're going to use red It has a tendancy to look like Christmas colours. Unless I guess you want to do a Christmas Doomwheel/etc lmao great now I have visions of Santa being run over by a doom wheel arrrgh

Besides the bog-standard eldritch green glow, I've seen mentions in the fluff of layers of warpdust in the northern wastes, shifting in colour. Also of warpstone giving off a 'black' glow. (I guess sucking in light) So you could say it's any colour and no colour!

The big plastic screaming bell was on a 60x100mm base, IIRC. The previous, smaller metal one was on a 50x100mm chariot base.
