Suggestions on colors

[FJAdams]

I'm starting to paint an Ape army for Warmaster.
I have the Apes riding Tigers, Zebras, Giraffes and a couple of command figures on Lions.
I'd like some suggestion on what to use for the base color for the:

Tigers: I know the white and the black but need suggestion for the orange and yellow.
Lions: base color for the yellow/tan.
Giraffes: Base color for the yellow/tan and the dark spots.

I know there are painters on here with much more skill and knowledge than me.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
