Making Leo Darker

General Leo is, canonically, of a darker skin tone than the rest of the FF6 characters. This has been carried forward to later games where he appears, like Opera Omni. I think that's awesome, and would love to offer a version of Everybody Gets a Chocobo that includes that. I've looked at DrakeyC's "General Leo Redone" patch, and unfortunately I just don't like the approach of changing to a different palette and altering the color of his clothing and hair. I think it's possible to keep Leo on his default palette 0 and acheive the same effect. However, I am colorblind, and I don't know if what looks good to my eye actually looks good or not. So, I've posted 2 possibilities above. The first one has his skin 1 shade darker, with no other edits are made to the sprite. The second one gives him much darker skin, but in order to make it work some edits needed to be done to his hair. Do either of them look weird? If not, which one would you prefer?
