So for x-mas I want to get my little brother the Assault on Black Reach set, because I know he's interested in Spes Muhrines and I think 40k will be good for him. However I want suggest a good color scheme.
Any ideas?

Anything without blue in it. In fact, red is a very fine color for marines...

Yeah, I was thinking maybe like red/gray with some orange highlights.
Me thinks mostly white with ice blue/yellow highlights would be cool too tho.
Really it's all up to him, I just want to provide some good ideas so he doesn't go "I wanna be Ultramarines!".

Good man. You should, in fact, buy a few things of paint so that he takes the path of least resistance, and does a proper color scheme. Best option of all - do something unique that isn't a GW color scheme. He should be creative, that's what this hobby's all about.

Today I got:
Chaos Black
Skull White
Boltgun Metal
Blood Red
Enchanted Blue
Snot Green
Golden Yellow
Tallarn Flesh
He should be able to make a decent color scheme out of that, you think?

I assume so. I don't use GW paints, so I'm not 100% familiar with those colors, but It looks to be a decent variety for a starter set type thing.

Well, ask the person your giving this to their favorite colors, then pick colors that will compliment or make the main color stand out.

Boltgun metal as the armour then add Whatever colours you like as trim and what not. It made Hawk Turquoise look good.
Reguardless (haha) what are your favorite colours?
