    What I mean is that not very many people seem to pick colors for their OC's coat/mane/tail/eyes/CM that mesh well together, or they pick too many (or too few) colors. Just in a color sense--not mentioning all the self-indulgent general design bullshit that a number of people seem to revel in (although to be fair, that's a smaller amount of people than the amount of people with a poor color sense).

    It is. It's not something you'll see a lot of, I'm sure, but it's totally possible that you'll see it sooner or later.

    Not...really. What colors you like is subjective. What colors work together...not so much. It's still subjective but it's not 100% subjective. When it comes to pony OCs, the colors you choose should work together visually well (or not, if you're trying to draw attention to something, whether because it's weird, it adds flavor, or it hints at something unusual, i.e. they're half-gryphon or something). Like in your case, Black Bolt has red eyes because he's 'corrupted', I believe? The red eyes pointedly don't mesh with the rest of his scheme because of that corruption, I would imagine. As much as I would like to crusade against black and red being the 'evil' colors, using red eyes to indicate corruption/evil has been well-established and works.

    The other thing when it comes to colors is your OC's personality. Flashy or outgoing ponies will have colors outside of their eyes that grab your attention (Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie). More core-focused, internal characters have their attention-grabbing colors balanced between eyes/coat/mane (AJ, Twilight), while subtle or introverted ponies only have one odd color that doesn't immediately mesh with their color scheme--their eye color (Rarity, Flutters).
    The way I did my OC was to contrast a bit the change between his corrupted version and normal version. When I created Blue Thunder I toyed around with blues for coat until I found what I would call the standar blue, not dark nor light. For the mane I chose light yellow, more or less like Derpy's mane color. The eyes I was debating between brown or green, and I sided with green in the end because it seemed to suit better.

    Then when I came later with the idea of a corrupted self, I decided to just darken the coat and light the mane. The eyes were a special case for that one.

    Yes that one is better.

    Also do you think it would be weird if I used a regular Saber avatar and signature while you are using an Alter Saber one? I think it would be different enough no one would confuse us.

    Standard blue with light yellow doesn't sound like it'd work to me, but I'd have to see it to be sure. But of course, this is all just the thoughts of one dude on the Internet...

    I would bring up my own OCs but I try less and less to mention them because A) they don't seem that well-liked 'round these parts and B) using my own designs as examples just seems silly.

    Perfect, go ahead. The color schemes are complete opposites so nobody would confuse us.

    Okay, not silly, but it presumes that I'm right when it's 100% possible that I'm dead wrong or my color sense actually sucks ass.

    I don't have cheap headphones nor plebeian ears, and I can't notice it

    even if it is noticeable, it's soooo
    so
    so insignificant and noticeable only if you really really try hard, that 4xfile size difference is just so not worth it
