Depends on a few things. Do you want GW color scheme and what is your skill level?
base coat abaddon black.
Armor
pick out with LeadBelcher, wash with Skrag brown, wash with 50/50 rhinox and abaddon black. Then adjust with leadbelcher again, then highlight where needed with mithril/lead mix 50/50 to suit.
Skin
Use your favorite skin colors for Mordor Uruks. Cool colors work well as a contrast color if you go warm on the rest, or use a warm color to compliment the scheme as you seem fit.
Cloth & shield
layer up by either using Eshrin grey or you can use Steel legion Drab for a more warmer tone (harmony with reds too).
either of the above choices mix at 50/50 ratio's with Abaddon black for each layer (adding 50% more of the lighter color to the mix each time).
once you feel you have defined black as your shadow color (you can fix your shade layers at anytime or wash back if needed) then you can highlight the highest points by adding a lighter color to the mix, Ushabti bone, XV-88, Dawnstone grey all can work for this (warm or cold colors again) at 50% or less to lighten your final mix to suit.
RED
Assuming you want the red colors. pick out with Khorne red. Wash with Doombul or rhinox as you need. adjust with khorne, add Troll Slayer orange to Khorne a little at a time for layers and highlights. You can add white or bone colors near the end for the peek highlights but be careful you don't go too pink on it.
Best I can slap together for my scheme. I did paint 24 of them.
