Mmmm no, I would say ( under 40k ) Ultramarines or Imperial Guard would be, at least under strict uniform colors that is.
Like I said there is alot of painting options you can do with World Eaters, just their primary colors are deep red, black and brass ( not gold which even GW deviates from with alot of the EM paintjobs although I believe this is due to \"ad\" related looks and the lack of shading options with brass itself ) a good example would be instead of painting their whole suit in red, you could take an area like their shin plating, paint that brass or black and do scroll work with red in the shape of mini skulls or whatnot, which would be very challenging and look pretty cool I think.
Tzeench, Nurgle ( especialy ) and Slaanesh do not follow the more extreme \"themed\" look that khorne worshipers do, you are right, If I was doing a noise marine squad I could go all out with gaudy sick multiple colors one each and scroll work and gems and whatnot, even colored metalics, it would fit emperors children very well, and with nurgle god the painting options are endless...so you see they are not as strict as some people like to think, it really comes down too what army or god or theme you are going for here.
The Inquisitor range and gams have a huge wealth of conversion and painting options, there is literly no \"official\" paint scheme for them, other then say the deathwatch but thats a dif topic and they hardly even get used in the games and are cosidered overpowerd as all hell.
I think for the most part Warhammer Fanstasy Battle has the largest area for imagination and no set color scheme other then green for orc skin but thats all trivial, even the empire as stated in the book, they dont have to paint even their uniform the state color, they could opt to paint a few blue lines on their feather the state color and you could then paint their armor any color you wish.
Warhammer 40k on the other hand, with its heavy use of space marines has a more stricter color scheme for the OFFICIAL chapters, but there are plenty of chapters that dont exist officialy ( both loyalist and undivided chaos ) which is perfectly legal to create and paint as you like.
I think some people are just having issues accepting that some \"official\" backgrounds and colors schemes are not to their liking, which is fine but just dont try to tell me a purple or pink berzerker model with a yellow bolter or missile launcher is a world eater, cause im just gonna laugh.
