A couple of colour schemes that I quite like:
the Angels Sanguine, a Blood Angels sucessor chapter, has half-red, half-black armour with gold-trimmed everything.
the Templars Argentum, a Black Templars sucessor chapter of my own devising, is half-black, half-white with silver trimmings.
Have fun coming up with a scheme, I find it to be one of most fun things about the Space Marines.

Don\'t forget that trim color can change around too to denote 1st 2nd 3rd etc... companies too. My ultras look nifty with their new silver trim, for example.

I like maroon and gold...
...any combination of them with black and cream.Nearly all of those colours are hard to work with though lol I just don\'t like the single colour marine schemes as much as the more complex ones,I think the simplicity of the marine sculpts just seems to need a bit of tarting up! Welcome to the forums by the way!
*Edit*--Using your colours I\'d say an all red body,white helmets and black and silver details like weapons,shoulder pads and shoulder pad trims,kneepads and elbows!

I guess the US GW site has a virtual colour scheme tester... you can paint the different parts in all colours you want, and see how it looks (or you try the \"paint-your-chapter\" if you own Dawn of War...)
