Any green you want! They're your orcs. |

True story – in fact, in Lord of the Rings Tolkien doesn't actually specify a colour at all I like Goblin Green, but that's just me |
| nazrat | 22 May 2013 6:45 a.m. PST |
Goblin Green for regular Orcs and Goblins, and Dark Angels Green shaded lighter with GG for the Bosses. |

VIVID!
I actually put a coat of Vajello's neon green on last for that 'pop'.
They really are quite visually stunning. I paint all my orks that way. GW games or not.

It's quite a while since I last painted Orcs or Goblins and can't remember what I used but looking at them "All of the above" might be the correct answer. x42 |

I've painted their like Goblin Green with Orc Flesh wash and a highlight of goblin green. |

The Orkish Revolutionary Committee refuses to promote this baseless stereotype promulgated by capitalist exploiters of Orkish proletariat and our Goblin brothers. |

A long time ago I painted a few. As I recall, I used some chromate green that was near at hand. Hey, they're orcs they don't need to look good. |

Mine are all in Fall colors… yellows, oranges, reds and browns… with a few spotty albinos.
My old Ral Partha and Grenadier orcs are purple. |

All different kinda of green , humans are not all the same shade of flesh , why should orcs. |

Warzone Necrotech basecoat with Goblin Green drybrush and a black wash. |

not green – mine are black. |

My Space Orks skin color is a base of a dark red with about two to three highlights. This contrasts well with their soviet green uniform color I use with their apparel. Mine are Russkie Orks you see. When I have painted WFB Orks I have stared with a base of goblin Green, green ink wash then highlight with Goblin Green with a little bit of white added. |

Red with white face …
… or several different skin tones …

glad to know others, paint their orcs different colors as well. Etotheipi, those orcs look great with white face paint. I may have to try that as well. |

I don't do Warhammer, but my Warmaster Orcs and Bo5A goblins are a kind of sickly green color. I use Delta Ceramcoat "Seminole Green" (what's "Seminole" about it, I have no idea). As that's OOP and I'm running out, I picked up FolkArt "Clover," which is supposed to be a match according to a color chart. Doesn't look like clover to me, but whatever. |
| Garand | 10 Jun 2013 12:46 p.m. PST |
Goblin green. Only collect Night Goblins though, and the contrast looks great. Damon. |

Tolkien explains that Orcs are the result of captured, tortured and twisted Elves, so green doesn't particularly make much sense to me. Mine range from dark red to a sickly yellow flesh. Since they are twisted Elves, green could theoretically be okay, but I'm just sayin'. |
| peterx | 18 Aug 2013 2:58 p.m. PST |
Goblin green with dark green wash (which GW doesn't make anymore-aargg!). Tried making my own dark green wash, still isn't dark enough. |
| moonfleetminis | 01 Dec 2013 9:40 a.m. PST |
As said, any colour they are after all my orcs to paint.
But i do paint them green. |
