I want my Nids to look nightmarish and otherworldly - so I was thinking dark purple?

I feel the coloring makes them look soft and unrealistic. i know that sounds stupid but that is why i hate purple.

If you can find a copy of the 3rd Edition Tyranid codex, there are a couple of pretty cool purple based paint schemes in there as well.
