The basic colour palette for my Eldar force is:
Primary Colour - GW Teclis Blue, which is almost a perfect match for Army Painter Crystal Blue. I use the Army Painter coloured spray primers on most of my models.
Secondary Colours - GW Ceramite White and GW Troll Slayer Orange. The orange is partially translucent and is affected by the colour beneath it. Because of this all of the orange areas are based with Ceramite White prior to applying orange. The Ceramite White has excellent coverage, so at most needs only three thin coats over the Crystal Blue.
Tertiary Colours - GW Chaos Black, GW Dheneb Stone, and GW Shining Gold. Chaos Black is reserved for "hidden" mechanisms, such as the linkages between wraithbone parts and the underside of vehicles. The Dheneb Stone represents raw Wraithbone - typically used on all the armies weapons. The Shining Gold is used as an accent colour on the engine intake and exhaust, and some other elements like runes and gem sockets.
Spot Colours - GW Liche Purple + GW Warlock Purple (1:1 mix), and Mephiston Red. Reserved for the (numerous!) gems and also the vehicle canopies. The purple mix is used most (about 90%) of the time.
Another Forgeworld Construct (with work-in-progress images) to follow soon...
