 From when I designed them, I had always envisaged the UNSC ships 
being predominantly white, with some large areas of pale to mid blue 
(perhaps broad bands around main hull and wings, with the UNSC logo 
on these bands in maybe white or gold?); drive units in grey or 
gunmetal.

BUT, this is certainly not an "official" scheme - just an idea. I do 
like Agis' all-blue ships, I think they work well. In the end, do 
what you like best!

Seeing as I've never even had the chance to paint any myself....  ;-)
