Nice job of making pink and purple look scary.
As for the variety of what you'd find in a pirate operation, I'm reminded of the late-war German armor camo schemes. After the beautiful factory camo pattern of desert sand with irregular dark green blobs and small black marks was abandoned due to the added time and expense, the desert sand base color was still sprayed on at the factory, but the camo colors were shipped directly to the front line units to be added however they could. In some cases, how it was applied and the resulting look could be interesting or even impressive, while in others you could essentially leave it at "it was applied".
Several units used paint sprayers to produce soft-edged irregular blobs similar to the previous official scheme, or in wavy lines (either mostly vertical or mostly horizontal), while at least one outfit used a "swirling motion" as they walked down the sides of the vehicles, producing a rather odd and unconvincing overlapping spiral pattern (Sorry guys, but it's NOT helping the tank blend into the background). Another company used a broom to produce "grass-like" patterns running vertically up the sides of the machines. I suspect that the paint may have been poured or splashed on in some cases, but never saw a decent enough photo of that to actually confirm it. I suspect that the fear of charges for "criminal waste of supplies" would have prevented a lot of photos of those particular units from being taken. The final look and pattern depended entirely on the people assigned to the task, but the colors themselves were identical from unit to unit.....and that is all in line with an "official" color scheme by an oppressive dictatorship. "Your papers are all in order, but your paint ain't."
