Banjo-Kazooie Sprite Project!

Tip: "originality" shouldn't get on the way of quality.

I'm not telling to abandon light gray forever, but white isn't like pure black, that eats sprite space. White is a perfectly ok color.

I've been using pure white for all my works for all this time, and I really think they don't look boring or default.

If your sprite looks default, it is not because of pure white. It is because of other factors.

As for making sprites hard to observe, just... make the background a different color. I believed everyone did this already?

We aren't working on a limited computer or device with limited colors. Of course, pixelart works with smaller palettes, but ditching a perfectly fine color just to be "original" just doesn't do it for me imo. In fact, this makes the speite newbie-looking, but this is my personal opinion.
