In black and white he seems to be 'white', however I've always considered him a more pale buff color. Not a true orange.
On the down side, ALL the cats people are familiar with in published cartoons seem to be orange male cats! Argh! Do I follow through and use the pale buff, or do I just show him as white if/when I can do the strip in color? Will it surprise people at that point? Do I allow my creation to follow in the cliche footsteps and do 'orange' as if I have no originality in my main character?
Maybe I can use a pale gray or something at that point..... I hate to bow to convention and put another orange cat out there to the public and keep the cliche 'cartoon cats' color perpetuating.
That's going to be a hurdle when I come to it.
Help me Obi Wan....
