I think this is actually a trick question. But what is your opinion of Misery's hair? Is it blue?

Or is it actually green?

Fan art seems to color it both ways... Some blue, most green...

Blue to me seems to me to be a more depressing color, so that's what I'll go with.

Then again all humans in Cave story have green hair, so...

Booster's is white!

I guess Curly's doesn't count...

I think the consistent green was to keep the color count down for the face.pbm file. I'd say blue because green hair and green clothes... eh.

personally I think that face.pbm was not an issue since it used 256 colours. The .pbm files used for the sprites are limited to 16 colours and if I recall it contained a lot of sprites.

Her hair colour is green.

Eh? I don't think any of the files approached 256 or are limited to 16... face.pbm seems to be 103, whereas npcguest.pbm is like 49 or something. It's just with indexed color fewer colors means smaller filesize which is always nice. I really wish we knew why Pixel did Misery's hair blue in the sprite but green in the portrait...

Her hair is quite obviously orange, what are you guys talking about? :p
But yeah, green.

Aaaaaaaagh I never even noticed that before! Although it's not that rare in sprite-based games. But yeah, it was probably blue due to colour limitations, and that maybe he didn't like the way it looked using the green in the .pbm .

Hmph!

*cutsense ends*
Heh. She look good with green hair. I haven't noticed her green hair and I thought it was black ._.
Sprite > NPC

So it is green.
Oh wait, maybe it is orange!

I've been really undecided about which color I myself would choose.
But, I think I'll go with Blue after all... This scene just wouldn't be the same with green hair :

Maybe... her hair looks different depending on the lighting? Or perhaps it used to be green and then it turns blue as she matures and then silver? :D

@Andwhyisit - And why is it, Andwhyisit did you not use the poll? :p
Nice orange... matches her eyes pretty well lol

@Haithm - Is Misery gone? was worried since I started this topic... lol
I didn't notice the green color at first either; but I didn't think about bringing it up until just today.

Green hair + green clothing = horribly green sprite. Solution: blue hair. :p

Green hair + green clothes = Too green??

Hmm... looking at the pattern of things, I'd say the full pic of the portrait may be with blue clothes :p

So, yeah, portrait > sprite, so she's got green hair.



Either way, I'll never stop loving her <3

Wow.
Never thought I'd see this.
Though, on my laptop, her hair is blue in both cases.
:p
