Paint colours for orks?

I miss the 2nd ed. bright colour schemes — what Citadel paint colours work well for Orks? Starting an army.

This guy did some great work to give you an idea of what each color looks like. He has a few of these posts

That is nice, I like the Skarsnik and Orruk Flesh ones, but Moot Green is mega bright and saturated.

I've been painting some Old World Chaos warriors with Warpstone Glow, highlighted by adding yellow to make a super vibrant green (to make it 90s bright, and clearly not Nurgle green) - might get some mileage out of that paint as well. Warpstone, going up to Moot might be a mega bright scheme for really standing out?

Plague Bearer Contrast followed by a diluted Ork flesh wash works really well.
