i think it needs completely redone since the green with the red makes it look undead and slimy.
but the top hat looks good.

This design is for the winter fest, so the colors on this female are the same as the male. I need traits that are different from the male, but still look somewhat coordinated.

Made a couple minor adjustments to the colors (they are still the same for both) and switched each example to three traits, since that's the max for 'made' pets.

Oh, those are super pretty! I had made the other ones more than that, because when you submit designs, the admins are looking at the color scheme and what kind of traits go well with it. So it's best to try to submit a design with at least 6vis.

Had plenty of my designs picked while showing 3 traits on each, and the other 3 on the second pet. ^^

Hmm, interesting. I keep getting all kinds of different advice from people and I'm not sure which ones are better.

I think I want just a bit more white on the male than the female. I don't know. What do you think?

The designs for male and female should have the same palette. Changing the colors will count as submitting two separate designs, which is not allowed. Besides, there is always color swing :P

I'm not chaining the colors. The palette already has white for some of the traits. I just want a trait that does more of this white.

Traditional Red is the way to go :)
