Hey everyone I’m currently designing a main character for a platformer project I’m working on and am struggling to decide on a colour. 

Which one would you pick if you could choose?

I don’t think the character has to be black or dark colors because that’s what makes sense realistically speaking. It depends on the character’s personality, the story, the tone of the game, your already existing art direction, etc. But sometimes a character can be more memorable because they have contrasting themes. Maybe there could be a fun story reason why the ninja has a particular color. It’s okay to be creative with it.

I think a lot of the variations could work. I encourage you to play with the colors of the belt and accessories too. My personal favorite variants are the black, yellow and the purple (someone else posted) so far. Green makes me think ‘nature’ less ninja and more druid.
