Default Foundation colour question

Hi everyone.
For ages I have been trying to decide what my colour scheme for mu Tau should be.
When I first got them I wanted them to be white, but after looking through some painting topics on here, I realised that white can be quite hard to paint and this is my first ever army.
However I really cant decide on a colour scheme.
So... The new foundation paints, do they make White easier to paint?
And if so, any tips?

Maggers

P.s, any colour scheme Ideas would be nice too.

with foundation you should only need one coat with the lightest shade and then apply white.. quite simple..

The two lightest foundation colors are "astrononomican Grey" and "Dheneb Stone" (a khaki-like color). One of those should do.

OR you go with white undercoat. Spray them white. It will make applying bright colors much easier.
