one of these two crabs is going going to be the basis of my color scheme, but i cannot decide. so which should it be, red orange carapace with white flesh, or speckled blue green carapace with cream flesh?

Blue crab, in a fight Blue crab would win due to his GIANT CLAWS. Also red crab has his hands together like he's scheming for world domination, I refuse to vote for him on this basis.

The picture of the red crab is better, but I think the Blue crab colour scheme would really make your army stand out (in a good way).
+1 for blue crab

I voted Red. It's classic and time-tested.
EDIT: Looking closer at the two crabs, I also have to say that I simply like the design on the red crab's shell. Striping or spots in a similar vein would look good.

If you pick blue crab, maybe this might help with the actual paint scheme (as in, the GW colours you use)

Red and blue? Blue / teal skin with red plates? Contrasts strongly.

I voted Blue, I see a lot of red scheme Nids around and the blue looks more striking and different.

Bright blue and orange would just make for a really weird horde.

Blue Crab! My friends 'Nids have a similar colour scheme and its really cool.
my nids have the blue scheme, prime white with 2 coats of asurmen blue on the carapace and a coat of gryphonne sepia on the body with black talons, they look quite striking i believe, extremely easy to do as well.
It is I! Arget8 killer of threads!

I reckon blue crab looks tastier, go blue. With the exception of various fruit, I avoid eating red.
I'll vote depending on how you want to base the models.
If you were going to put them on snow I vote red, jungle i would vote blue etc. Whatever pops more on the base. But I gotta admit that blue crabs big orange claw looks pretty tasty....
