I'm currently working on an Eldar Swooping Hawk, a not all that bright, but more nightly darker pattern.
I'm just not knowing what color I should give to the face-mask on the helmet and especially the eyes. I don't wanna go too bright though, but I've been thinking of red mask, red tubes and yellow eyes to create more contrast. I've also been thinking of a light-gray mask, but I fear that it might be too bright to fit the rest of the model. The other plates of the armour shall receive reflection-points as on the shoulder-plate and head (most right picture shows it). I hate the colors I'm using, the blue is a very glossy color, but ofc I can't varnish it yet, so you gotta live with the sun's reflections on many of the blue parts
That's the current status:
I also have been thinking to keep the weapon in pattern with the armor, so make the big plates red, the riffles blue and the rest gray, as in this photoshop-sketch:
What do you think? Maybe you have even ideas or suggestions about entirely different parts?
Thanks for hints and comments!

I'd be inclined to consider a yellow mask. It looks beak shaped, and being a Hawk an all. Throwing another primary colour on could make it look a bit Fisher Price were it not for all the darkness. A yellow fading to black through dark browns could tie in to the contrast on the rest of the mini. Going extra fancy, fading to brown at the top but fading to a black tip like a real beak could be groovy.
The red does work on the gun. Very bold and striking. Though I wonder how it'd look rendered in a plain wraithbone colour.
I do like that blue. I've often favoured a Regal to Enchanted blue myself for that juicyness.
