I kept looking at these and trying to work out why they looked the 'wrong' colour, until I realised that they reminded me of the Disney character Stich (from Lilo & Stich), so in my mind's eye, I see them as grey.

Transportation in particular becomes a challenge. <br /><br />The results are often quite good though, as is also the case with these excellent looking bakemono. <br />They are so characterful and yet you tried them together with a unifying colourscheme.
