Yeah, and everyone thought that the question of orc skin color is useless. People are interested in this!

Orcs must be red, it looks better than brown, green (or purple  ). If you have played Warcraft you know about the Chaos/Fel Orcs, and how good they look. They are the best-designed race of that world. I don't like the idea of copying other games buy making them green like in both Homm III (but not IV!), and not brown either, because they would look strange.
Another version of the orcs would be the Homm IV version. It looks much better than Blizzard orcs, more like truly wild savages. On their downside they resemble pigs and look somewhat copied from the LOTR- movies.
So therefore, I vote for Redskinns! Long live the empire of the Fels!

I'm not very fond of Lord Of The Rings, actually, but that's kinda besides the point. Tolkien is the godfather of modern fantasy literature, which has spawned literally all Role Playing worlds, computer game worlds, and fantasy story worlds. It's not that he is the best writer ever - because he isn't, if you ask me - but without his LOTR series, it is unlikely that Fantasy would hold the place in modern culture that it does. Therefore, saying that you don't recognize the name of Tolkien is not unlike saying you never heard of Shakespeare.
And it's not a question of love or hate, or like and dislike - I was just surprised to meet anyone who didn't recognize the name - especially at a place like this!
well put.
and to compare him to yu-gi-oh is just pushing it...
As long as they aren't bright green they should be fine. And red. Red definately doesn't suit orcs. Maybe a different creature, but not orcs. I think a brown, dark red/brown or dark green/brown would be fine.

To comment my vote: I would like to have more types of orcs, because I like it like it was in Warcraft, the green and the orange ones, and then I found out that in dark messiah there are brown orcs and Im starting to like them. Then I could think of blue orcs... Thats not bad, too... But to be honest, I voted for greenskins instead of multi-races, because I think its a typical color for orcs, and because I know, Nivals not going to make more orc factions.

I would prefer a more Lord of the Ringish version of the orc combined with elements from the orc in previous Heroes games.
Also WeekofRabbits has a good point of not copying WARCRAFT (I like the game but I am begining to hear that name too much).
