OK I personally like my character without the hoodie. That's the old one and I must admit the bright colors does make him more readable. Still I'm in need of guidance.

my questions:

1. How would i know how whats the right colors for him? Or any charcters

2. How can i do a trial and error to find the perfect fit of colors?

3. how can i make the character more readable to players?

	1. Think about their personality and choose colors that fit. That's about it. If it helps, you can find some color scheme generators pretty easily, but don't rely on them too much. 2. Of course. 3. One way is to simplify the shading, the lineart, the overall design, et cetera. You should also try to keep the colors contrasted enough. Right now the colors sort of blend together, so that's something to work on.
