Always been partial to red and black, although it will also depend on what kind of paint patterns are available. There are tons of amazing paintjobs in the fan art forum: http://mwomercs.com/...ed-concept-art/

Some of the patterns are quite striking

Definatly custom. I'm gonna paint it whatever I want, depending on the mech and loadout.

Some of those are absolutely beautiful. I chose all black because that's my default until I get a feel for what looks the coolest and fits the personality of my character and/or unit.

If the painting is free to do pretty much as you please I will probably go with something like gray/metal for the majority of the mech with grass green for highlight areas.

Camouflage. I know it's basically pointless on 40-100 ton, walking war-machine but still, it could be useful. And camouflaging things is kinda fun.

or I may change it per map depending on the map specs

Earth tones are great until you get a snow map. Earth tones on a snow map make you stand out like a BIG Moose poop in the snow. :)

I always prefer camouflage paint schemes for mechs. I think it adds to the military feel. Granted it's not like I am going to hide a 60ft tall mech behind a bush.

I'd pick some kind of situation appropriate camo, I don't want to make things easy on the guys with the big mechs. ( That won't actually help when someone spots me but oh well. )

I love blending vehicles into their environments and different patterns of camo. Ultimately, I don't think it'll be much about 'hiding' the mech, so much as making small differences in targeting. If you're in arctic camo, and it's snowy out, and you're moving at a good clip, your enemy should have a harder time landing his shots right where he wants them, at least at range.
