The genestealers in one of the Ciaphas Cain novels were observed as being pink, much to the surprise of one of the troopers fighting them.

| Demon of Humanity | Is there a pink tyranid in fluff yet |

| Deneris | I always assumed "Tyranid" was a broad, catch-all term for a family of space-faring bugs. In a real-world example, take the term "mosquito"; we hear it, and think "small, biting insect" - They're all the same. Whereas there are over 3500 distinct kinds of mosquito, each with their own coloring and DNA make-up. So "Tyranid" could conceivably cover hundreds, if not thousands, of color schemes and hivefleets... |

. I'm asking because I couldn't find anything, so if you have a source I'd love to give it a read. |

| locustgate | 2nded. That doesn't really make sense. Nids eat every single biomass on the planet, if that was true then wouldn't they all be....I don't know. Brown, green, or something. |

| locustgate | Pretty much what I assume Fleet colors, default, and then change depending on environment. |

| Khorne's Fist | I think the schemes laid down for the various hive fleets are kind of like a default setting. When a fleet arrives on a given planet they will be their normal hive fleet specific colours, but the longer the battle goes on the more you would start seeing creatures with colours more reflective of the environment the fighting is taking place in, as killed and injured nids are reabsorbed and recycled. When the planet is completely stripped, almost all of the nids would be absorbed, and fresher ones created in the default setting in preparation for the next victim. |
