-Silver Trim
-Green shoulder Icon

Art Work For Novels\Other things

Look at your army? What color are they?

That's the color the Alpha Legion is.

FOR THE ALPHAS I USED:
armor plate: Mcragge blue washed with druchi violet
armor trim: goblin green with scorpion green highlight
weapons: skavenblight dinge casing with chainmail barrels/slides ect.

i stole this one off of the old gw site, however, do as you see fit

The both frustrating and fun answer is all of the colour schemes you find for the Alpha Legion are correct.

The purple with silver trim and green icons appears mostly pre-heresy. But they used plenty of variants on it (such as bronze or white, black or grey), and at times ignored it completely using whatever colours suited their purposes (even other legions). The blue-green may have been the colours of their infiltration or stealth units, or that may be a façade too.

Blue-green with silver trim seems to be most common during and post heresy. Each of the CSM codexes, 2nd, 3rd 3.5, 4th and now 6th editions (and now Forgeworld's Extermination too) has had a different mix of blue and green and just as frustrating (and wryly funny) is that all are equally valid as each other. So pick the one you like best, or make your own.

Fun...lol i am doing 30k so......Purpish blue seems like a good choice! (Like on the Cover of "Legion")

Alpha Legion are mainly the color "Alpharious" with "Omigon" trim.

Yeah, if you're going crazy then they've done their job

[alpharious]

their color depends on which loyalist they are infiltrating. but on a serious note I'd go with phreakachu's choice
