Omg blackout on Low FrequenScene? c': Doesn't look good at all imo. Just simple monochrome would have been better.
I don't like schemes like blackout and pure. All the details are lost and the item looks like a messy blob.
I know some people think of them as "useful" schemes so that you'll get your favorite poses in just black or ivory but eh sweatdrop It's just lazy to me.
Tranquil Esse is fine. I love the scheme but it's so spring/early fall type of scheme idk why are we being like this again c': I mean blackout?? Seriously.
I want summer to feel like summer too. Can you imagine getting spring colors the whole of fall?? Most sane people would probably hate this idea.
Give us folks who enjoy summer summer schemes too please :/
I think Academic Evening item got the best recolors. They chose the perfect schemes to match its vibes.
I think they should have given some more thought and energy for the others too. Especially the Duchess. Just slapping "popular schemes" on it didn't really do it justice imo.
The best recolors were Rosalind and Envious and we got them so fast. Feels like they didn't know what to recolor it in after.
I agree with ElegantlyLuminous above, atlantis and fenghuang may be niche schemes but they suit the item so much better.
I mean I can't believe I'm about to say I liked the og pudding one better than the sprinkles and sentimental recolors... I don't like pudding very much while I do like sprinkles better... It just didn't look right on Duchess :/
Or maybe they could have waited just a couple months longer and release it in winter?
I also think Gaia should give some more love to other adopted user schemes. Some of them are perfect for the Duchess item imo.
Lapis, lifestone, atlantis, nightbreak... And if we're feeling a little bit bold, why not bugberry, crabby, bluebellvine, fruit salad (we see it every now on then, a great chance!), cadence, plastic beach, dreamland, lotus...
I feel like down the line we're gonna see alexandrite, flamboyant, shadowlescent on it and maybe chai on it, but maybe it's time to take some risks Gaia ninja
