You've got way too much happening in your palette. Bring down the
colors a bit. It's hard to even see the shading because you're packing
those colors along the edge of the highlights. Not every shade has to
be in a one pixel thick line to give it depth. It could be brought down
to 8 colors or less, I think. By merging the greens and yellow to two
colors, having three reds one for highlight, a midtone and shadow and
three grays (including the black). It'd also give it more contrast, I'm
sure. The hues seem to be the default hues from Paint and they rarely look good on anything. I think you should choose your own hues and use less saturation as well. ------------- http://punaji.com/">

The green one was definitely the easiest to see out of the whole lot. The new lighter gray one still lacks contrast. Contrast doesn't mean that it's too dark, it just means that there's not enough difference between the shades you're using, which can make it hard to understand what's going on as far as detail is concerned. ------------- http://punaji.com/">

8 colors, not bad. I noticed a few similar shades, but better overall. I like the highlight placement, although it seems to have a frowned-upon lightsource. ------------- http://pixelmonkey.ensellitis.com">
