XD i alrdy read the long one, dont worry i didnt mind, I do like recolors since im not rly into spriting or an upcoming spriter, i just want to switch the visual experience a bit up for me.
So to summarise: "fair enough".
Though to quickly clarify multicolor, Its rly hard to explain since at base its just a feeling that i cant describe better than with the word multicolor.
I think the original sprite looks like crap because it uses more or less all additive primary colors, with emphasis on more or less (yea before you nitpick, Instead of green blue cyan it uses green and turquoise, and its not yellow, but beige, but those are respective variations of the primary colors in question, and I said more or less).

And that doesnt look right.
This is not a scientifically acceptable explanation and if you still dont get what I mean at all, then so be it, it rly doesnt matter anyway, the outcome is what it relevent here, and that is that i hate the coloring of the sprite.
Also Just for the sake of it, The "purpose" of this recolor, in relation to why I said I wanted it done, is actually easy to demonstrate, even if you dont like it. I said i wanted the sprite to remind me MORE (not be a perfect adaption) of the amano artwork, which especially the initial attempt i did does.

Wanna bet that if you go on the street and ask 100 ppl which of the 2 sprites below looks more Similiar to the artwork, 99 will say my recolor does, and as i more than clearly stated that was my intended purpose of the recoloring.
And to the sprite you mentioned in the database, I rly dont wanna be an as*h**e and im sure the effort was great and in spriters circles it is good spriting, but no offence it looks way worse than even the original alrdy bad looking sprite. It has the crappy colors of the original, worse hair and body(especially frontal view!! which btw has no massive pink "frontal part" anywhere in the artwork so i dont know where that comes from), and apart from the fact that its a "girl with a cape", looks absolutely nothing like any original amano artwork....(and i bet if you add it to the poll i mentioned above, still 99 will chose my sprite recolor as being closest to the artwork)

Now Since im not looking forward to a discussion and im sure noone else is, lets switch this to either pick option A B or C or dont reply since I rly only made this topic for that simple input.
PS: This is an amazing resprite of terra using that lame color palette.
