It's your amazing Alien build so can paint it however makes you happy.
But sorry I don't think what you have posted above is quite correct, have a look at the Winston school Alien costume photos here -

Those are props from the movie which I said above were painted brown but look blue in the movie. They might have even been painted brown to compensate for Camerons love of blue gels. Maybe the scenes with the Queen didn't use blue gels so they could just paint her blue.
The Stand Winston Studio display was made AFTER the movie and is most certainly painted blue as I even provided a picture of it's true color. That one is made for display in his display room and was never ment to be used in a movie.
EDIT: rereading my post above it might not be clear but I am not disputing the alien warriors from the film were painted brown... I am saying the colored blue gel lights that James Cameron used made them look blue and that is the color they always intended them to be (probably) the brown color might have been used to keep them from looking too blue under the blue tinted lights.
