Black and purple would probably be fine in a contextless aesthetic sense, but I don't think it fits as well with the "Shadow" concept.
As for the rest, I guess it's my job to try to be difficult. The armored torso design has actually grown a bit on me; it works better when the secondary color isn't grey or white anyway. But insist on the armor plate color pattern, and you can do this without me. I just couldn't *take* staring at that all the time.
(I'm not really convinced about the armored boots either; I think something like the thigh-high boots would add an element of magical-girl-costume impracticality that the current design doesn't have enough of. But that's not really important.)
On the color scheme issue, why not let people work out what they think is something that compliments their powerset, and see what the results are? I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't that much overlap in the end. And if there does turn out to be some, figure out alternatives then.
-Morgan, thinks she'd delete rather than play someone in light green/light yellow. Eeeew!"I have no interest in ordinary humans. If there are any aliens, time travelers, or espers here, come sleep with me."
