Obviously you don't know lore very much! Let me help you


Quoted from BattleTech Wiki on sarna.net about the Skye Rangers (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Skye_Rangers):
Color Scheme and Insignia

• The parade color scheme of the Skye Rangers is dark red, with the arms of 'Mechs, turrets of vehicles or rudders of fighters painted black. Each regiment has its own unique highlight color.
  
• The Rangers insignia takes for form of a yellow sun partly obscured by wisps of white clouds on blue sky disc.

Since im too lazy to post actual pictures, maybe i will later, Hellblau (Primary), PCGamer Grey (Secondary/Tertiary). As a member of the Skye Tigers I am running that pattern (a true Steiner blue) on all my mechs in the tiger camo spec, and it looks amazing.

We use the canon red body/black arms of the Skye Rangers Brigade: http://www.sarna.net...me_and_Insignia

See now I am going to have to get my mechs sorted with some painjobs, these look great.

just found Prussian blue under the cyans. Looks mighty nice.

I find Manganese seems to create a nice alternative to the lack of steiner blue in there, but maybe could be slightly darker?

Do you have some tips for me? I Like the Blue but i want something more spectacular

[Runenstahl]

Hmm... don't know what to say. You can try out every color in the mechlab (as you probably know). Other then that... maybe try to "mix" colors i.e. use (slightly) different colors within the same painjob. That may enhance the overall look.

Basic Blue or Cobalt is pretty close to "Steiner" blue, but basic Basic Blue is a bit dull, mix in some Titanium white.
