I can't decide on a colour scheme.

Speaking only for myself I have been working on a Jungle theme. A friend and I both are starting Lizardmen at the same time, while I'm in your situation trying to figure out what I want to do, he decided to do a leopard gecko theme on this troops as he recently bought one. I have to say over all they actually look very nice.

The advantage of a jungle theme is that you can use things like fish tank terrain to quickly build extremely cheap and durable table terrain that if it gets destroyed your not out a lot of money.

Jungle is Always a go to , if i was starting my army again i would probably be in the same situation, go with a comon thing or try to think outside the box, where would the lizards be able to thrive and survive outside of a jungle? Maybe a swamp or a marshland... or even a lost oasis in the middle of a desert where the skinks have adapted their skin to camouflage with their surroundings outside of the oasis to keep enemies at bay

I know its a rough one but its a personal thing , try and create a background and make the colors and bases adapt to your army story.
 
Jungle Geckos? What does that conjure up image/colorwise?
 
Personally I am a fan of jungle basing, but I would comb the Itza Gallery for inspiration pictures first before I went one way or the other. Lots of great stuff in there.

There are tons of great jungle-lizardmen examples out there with the Maya/Inca/Aztec themes carrying them, but I would love to see a good Pueblo/Mesa Verde styled Lizardmen armies. If you go the desert route, here are some quick examples that came to mind:

- @Xasto based his bastiladons in a desert-sand pattern

- @Centurion's army from some years ago was Southlands based, but had a great desert color scheme on the skinks.

- Lizardmen Army by DezertFox, it was for sale some time ago. Lots of great oranges and basing.
 
Some good points have been made already. I am always a fan of the unconventional and I think there are less desert themed Seraphon than jungle themes. This is your army so you do you. I just ask that you show us some of your work when you get some models completed. :)
 
Really you should look everywhere for inspiration.

For example i've been inspired by:
- fantasy artwork especially magic the gathering
- illustrated dinosaur books
- photos of cobras, snakes lizards and birds
- buildings
- warhammer model colours from other armies ex chaos demons
- other peoples models online

Really google image search is your friend :)

Start a folder of images of stuff you like and stuff you might want to try.

Me I love me my cyan pink yellow lizzies something very neon 80s about them xD
