Same, I really like the new goblins after seeing the film.
It's almost like the 'Eavy Metal team and the action figure company saw just production stills without the proper make-up or lighting. Where the official GW colour scheme and the toys are clean-looking and quite bright, the movie itself has the Goblins looking dark and filthy. Much better, imo.
A good read of December's White Dwarf reveals that the Citadel team saw the supporting cast in costume as the Goblins in the green room before their scene was being shot, there they took photographs and based the design on that. So yes you are correct, they've based it on the wrong lighting/setting!
If i remember correctly in one of the production videos PJ mentions how the colours on set were way more vivid than they would appear on screen. I think this was in relation to Mirkwood but I'd assume it's probably true for the rest. The documentary on digital grading from one of the LOTR box sets would seem to support this also.
