Welcome to the hive! The genestealers are in the hive fleet leviathan colors on the GW website.

I found the following link from GW for termagants but the same should apply to genestealers. I think they also have a video using contrast.

To do further cleanup, you could highlight the skin with your base color and the carapace with a lighter purple. Hope this helps!

base them in Genestealer purple, dry brush a mix of Kantor Blue and Xereus Purple, put the purple on the claws, that works for a basic OG Genestealer color scheme
