So a while back I was researching alternate colour schemes for an Imperial battlefleet gothic fleet, wanting something different than the standard green. I discovered this list of colours for different segmentum's navys. I must say that there was no source cited, but it seems correct to me.
So I plan to paint my OoF in the colours of the sector my world is supposed to be in, Tempestus. I was wondering what colour others had painted theirs, or if they had given any thought to the heraldry of this model. It is about the only non-Guard model that we can field so it can be made to stand out a bit.

Thinking a light blue for the one I'm planning, to go alongside the grey guardsmen.
maybe RAF blue? even add a moustache?

Damn it Troop,Grumble Grumble....... back to drawing board,LOL that was my choice for a field uniform. I think any thing that makes them stand out color wise should be good,I mean they are prima donnas pip pip cheerio and all that.And even though they can't seem to get directions on where the fleet actually is,it is nice for that re-roll for enemy outflank/reserve entry sides.

Blue coat, white sleeves, white pants. Although, I did paint one for a friend in red and white colors.
