Map Colors for Germanic Tribes in early 5th Century?

I'm working on a mod for Mount&Blade: Warband and have been tasked with choosing colors for each faction. I figure ah.com is the best authority on the subject. Below is the factions list with my provisional colors next to them.

Rome - Red
Franks - Blue
Suebi - Brown
Alans
Visigoths
Vandals
Alemmani
Thuringii
Rugii
Saxons
Frisians (I'm going to suggest they be dropped, so prioritize them last)
 
My suggestion is:
Rome - Red
Franks - dark blue
Suebi - Brown
Alans - ???
Visigoths - yellow
Vandals - purple
Alemmani - black
Thuringii - light blue
Rugii - white
Saxons - green
 
Rome - Dark Red.
Franks - Blue
Suebi - Brown.
Alans - Yellow.
Visigoths - Gray.t y
Vandals - Blackish.
Alemmani - Darker Light Blue.
Thuringii - Lightish Blueish.
Rugii - Orange.
Saxons - Mid-Green.
Frisians - Un-Metallic Goldish (think the U.C.S. Spain colour.)
 
Rome - Dark Red.
Franks - Bright Blue.
Suebi - Brown.
Alans - Grey.
Visigoths - Yellow-Orange.
Vandals - Metallic Blue.
Alemmani - Bavarian Blue.
Thuringii - Green.
Rugii - Dark Purple.
Saxons - Medium Dark Green.
Frisians - Orange.
 
Well, personally I've been sticking with the U/G/etc. CS colors for them and assigning them based on geography and what they eventualy became, so here's what I use;

Coolness, but needs colours for the Ostrogoths and Lombards, too.

And we need colours for a few more, non-Germanic tribes - Gauls, Huns/Avars/Khazars etc.

Which Avars, the ones from the Caucasus or the Eurasian ones (not that I have a color for either..)?


Anyways, here are what I use for the rest, thoguh I've never actually done a map with Gauls, but the color is for a culturally related state, but anyhow;

The ones Charlemagne fought against.

I ask because I make the odd map with (Romano-)Gaulish France in them.
