We know that in some TMNT incarnations, the TMNT have been given seperate different skin tones.
From as early as the original action figures to the new 2k3 series.
Some were subtle differences like in the movies, and some were very obvious like with the action figures.
Which tones do you prefer?
And also, if there are new tones that you personally like and prefer, describe them to us and/or post examples (such as color tiles or fan art).
I personally prefer my own tones for the boys. When I color them, I'll usually give them something unique.
In most incarnations, Don is the one with the tone furthest away from the green spectrum. But I prefer Leo to have the tone furthest from true green. Leo has blue, and blue is the closest color to green (along with yellow), so it just makes sense for Leo's tone to be far away from his blue.
So I tend to give Leo a drab, subdued green.
Mikey I give him a green with a touch of aqua.
Don I give him a green with some reduced saturation and a touch of yellow.
And Raph I give him a generic green color.
I also try to keep the tone values close to each other. I don't like it when the differences are blatantly obvious.
Here's an example of my tones...
