Okay, so I have a copy of this cylon concept art from the 1978 show I found online (link).
I noticed the undersuit is green... that got me thinking.

I looked around online and found the original designer of the '78 Cylon is Andrew Probert. I looked him up and found this GREAT article on Cylons - it even has a photo of prototype 1978 Cylon armor - including part of an armored boot! (Link)

(Link - Be sure to check out this GREAT article!)

Oh, I just noticed at the end of the article there is a link to another article about the BSG: Razor "classic" Cylons.

Nice!

The link to the boot takes you to the main page though...

Can't seem to find it?

Well sometimes (most) the concept art colors aren't used, and to tell you the truth I am glad it wasn't green. I do have that art drawing (well maybe not posted) someplace. It has been around a long time, ever since the release I have seen that drawing. Just a large file of it hasn't been seen yet, at least I don't recall seeing a full image scan of it.
Great that Darth Mojo had a little in with Probert, since those two did the work for Galactica. Probert the original series, and Darth Mojo the CG in Razor, and the other episodes of Galactica.

SiR-ROUND, here is what I was talking about of the boot. It would seem the concept sketch started to be realized as a prototype:

Yes, it would be odd to see a green undersuit on a copper-ish Cylon! I wonder how the green undersuit turned to purple? Maybe a game of darts? lol

Ah, IC!

Would have been better than the "sprayed" boots in my opinion...
