I went with Pleione, and it looks AWESOME. Repainted all my Pheonix mech by changing the red stripe to purple and it's DAMN SEXY.

Thanks all!

Pro tip: Obsidian Black, Maize, Pleione. My mechs are bringing sexy back.

for the record, this is the Camo Spec i'm planning for my Orion:

Vagabond Pattern

Primary: Prunus
Secondary: Zi
Tertiary: Hematite

for a low-key camo

and

Pleione
Edo
Obsidian

for a flashier look

I use Edo, Psikev, Psikev on my Protector for a good purple look.

Psikev is a good light purple that can brighten like white but without it looking grayish.

OK - I've decided to plop down 1000 MC ($10!!!) on purchasing Marik Purple for my 'mechs.

Which one is Marik Purple?



I suggest EDO or Prunus, if you don't want your mech to look too pink.

Just a heads up, our long term goal is to make house and faction specific colours available.
I won't promise when that will be though, so if you want to purple up your Mech in the name of Marik, rock on soldier!



May I suggest researching the old Ral Partha paint colors for the Factions?

The real answer: Depends on your unit! Not every Marik unit even runs purple!

Look through the units and figure out which paint scheme you like, if you don't have an actual unit yet. There's plenty to choose from. From ludicrous power pink to white & gold sans purple, you've got tons of options.

Free World Legionaires

Free Worlds Guard

Marik Militia

Regulan Hussars

Knights of the Inner Sphere: 1st Gold Knights

That's just a small sample. There's literally dozens more I haven't posted. But you don't have to go all-in purple to run Marik colors, it's just a common misconception from the flag colors.

I'm partial of the Free Worlds Guard style paint setup if you're looking to show easily recognizable Marik purple, though. Looks way better in-game than the all-in purple IMO too.

Here's what I did with my purple. Subtle, but I like it.
