OK, let me make a confession:

I paint all my SF ground stuff in one paint scheme.  DSII and SGII 
both.  It's a dark grey (Used to use Testor's Panzer Grey) with black 
'tigerstripes' and off-white (Testor's Camoflage Grey) spots.  Why? 

1)If you drop it on white tile floors, the dark grey shows up nicely.

2)If you drop it on dark blue carpeting, the white spots show up 
nicely.

3)It's completely ahistorical.

4)It's inspired by WWI 'dazzle' camoflage for naval vessels.

5)It doesn't matter anyway, because in the Real World, the Nea Rhomaioi 
use 'adaptive' paints which can be altered to fit terrain.  I can't 
afford a set of equipment painted in every paint scheme that might be 
authorized--Woodland (Think NATO Tricolor), Jungle (less black, lighter 
greens), Artic (white with white blotches), Desert, Steppe, Martian 
Plain, Airless Vacuum, or whatever Science-fictional terrain we may 
find it profitable to fight over.

The tanks, infantry, and Stargrunt uniforms all look like this.  For SG 
figs I add detail--web gear and weapons are all black, visors are RP's 
"Steel" (Metallic not-quite-black), etc.  Aircraft are a generic 
gunship grey, with metallic gold Chi-Rhos as national insignia.
