Orks are blue and red and various other colors because Orks like warpaint and tattoos.

Ah, I don't think the ice orks make much sence. But you could say it was a genetic mutation of a whole group of spoors because they landed on a planet with a high population of a blue flower that emits some kind of radiation that mutates their genes very consistently. Or something.

Or something. Seconded. If Orks are going to change color, in needs to deal specifically with their symbiosis to the algae/fungus. Plants don't really change color based on temperature, or even based on environment, really. Depending on the 'brightness' of the blue, you might explain it as phosphorescence developed by spores that mingled with subterranean fungus, or something similar. Alternatively, they might simply come from a world heavy in cobalt, the color which produces most blue pigment.

How about a diet of mainly foodstuffs with certain blue qualities? Or a mutation of sorts?

Mutation always works, and Ork blood already changes color based on diet, so there's already precedent!

GW don't.
Some other place probably does.
Don't use it, I doubt you'll get much tone and texture.

Like an ork would care. Theyd be too busy impressing the 'not glowee boyz.'

It's seriously an interesting idea. Might nab some blue glow-in-the-dark paint if I can find one and give it a shot on a couple of Boyz. If it turns out well, might even get a unit selection out of them... mrgreen

Laughs a little, "Wow, I post one thing and it turns into glow in the dark orks."
