I think the colors being like they are stems from a combination of working on a laptop, a somewhat misguided attempt to emulate a retro look and generally poor taste on my behalf. I'll try harder in the future!
In the meantime, I made some minor color adjustments, not sure how much of a difference it made.
You are quickly becoming a personal fave, so much that I can overlook the pillow-shading-ness about this piece. I do wonder if your monitor is calibrated, you have terrible taste in colors or simply don't think about color palettes in pixelart yet? Colors do seem to be your weakness.
ahhh! it's pillow shaded! define a lightsource. other than that it's kinda cute :P
I do like all the moving bits and pieces ^^
