Are Stormtroopers white and gold or black and blue? 

We get a mix of 'Troopers in this teaser, and they're sporting some impressive new suits. The attention grabbing ones are obviously the Shadow Troopers, who appeared in the teaser for the teaser, and look pretty badass. Their suits of armour are equipped with cloaking devices, meaning they're much more equipped to stealth missions, though whether that makes it to the film remains to be seen. 

As for the sandy/gold Stormtroopers, who are mixed in with the traditional white ones, I'm not really sure, but hopefully they do have a very specific reason for the outfits - they don't have armoured legs, so maybe that's an indication to their role, something where only their upper body needs covering (drivers, maybe?). Or could they be Camo Troopers, which would mean they'd fit in perfectly on that tropical setting with the AT-ATs?
