This avatar follows the color style from the one I had in late January. Of course I'd always stick to the original colors.
I just think the slight black was making so much sense....
Now, I could almost feel it's just green. The only thing that contrasts it is the white outline....which is not really enough if you consider the whole pic....
EDIT: actually, this is bigger than I expected.
You know the mini avi you have on alerts?
I could swear for at least a second I saw nothing but green, almost like a green square. Meaning it's actually less possible to get the avi if it's smaller which is seen on some places of the site including thread owner.
So, my point is, green is awesome, but just put some contrast....
