What's your favorite? I'm partial to Harlequins…

All my Eldar are painted either in their Aspect colors, or in the colors of Saim-hann. Red and black can never go wrong as a color scheme…

I'm partial the green and white of Biel-Tan for vehicles and guardians. For aspect warriors it's some variation of the classic colors of the warrior shrine.

Yep, Biel-Tan for me too.

I prefer the good old yellow helmet and black body for the guardians.

Guardians are dark blue bodies and dark red helms with yellow/green vinework on them, weapons are a dulled bronze.
Others as per shrine.

I believe that combo is called "Fuschia and Turquoise"…
My favorite, too! Works for Guardians _and_ Harlequins:

When I had Eldar I was in favor of the Biel-Tan colors. The Aspect Warriors used a variation of their colors, but included some part of them in Biel-Tan colors to show where their allegiance was. So even the Aspect Warriors had green and white on them somewhere.

Just striped the paint off of all of my Eldar that I painted nearly 20 years ago.

I am going to go with the following.

Orange & Purple Armor
Teal Weapons

So something similiar to these though the undered armor would be Purple and the outer armor Orange.

For me it's Alaitoc. Some of my aspects like Howling Banshees are in that scheme and others like the Fire Warriors, Scorpions and Warp Spiders (my favorite as I have 30 of them) are in their "Traditional" colors. I haven't decided what to do with my Dark Reapers as I haven't painted those three units yet.
