We've been talking this over at the workshop, for painting the display
ships (they're just in bare metal at the moment, haven't had time to do
them!) and the current thoughts are white and pale or mid blue for the
UN
(probably overall white with blue detailing), and maybe either white or
cream with green and gold detailing for the IF. Note that neither of
these
have actually been TRIED yet, just talked about, and may in the event
look
disgusting (especially the IF one)!!

For insignia, the IF could be a crescent and star combination, or the
sword
idea (or a mix of the two....), possibly in green and gold; I think the
UN
will still use some kind of Earth globe, probably in blue.
