Some important background on color theory.

I see a lot of pattern planes painted in colors that really don't go, so let's look at the basics:

Go to this page and for the "color wheels":

My basic color (theme) will be "Yellow". The first rule is "complementary" colors. So if we look at yellow, the color directly across from it is "violet".

The next rule is "Analogous" colors, which are the two colors on each side of yellow, so we have yellow/green and yellow/orange as options.

The third rule is "Triad" colors. If we draw an Equilateral triangle from our color (yellow) we have blue and red as color options.

So the colors we should consider working with are:

Yellow
Violet
Yellow/Green
Yellow/Orange
Red
Blue

We also have White, Black, Silver, Chrome, Aluminum, etc. that will go as well.

For this paint job I will be using:

Yellow
Blue
Red
Black
White
Orange (used for shading to create yellow/orange)
Pearl black
Aluminum
Red Candy
Highly thinned black
