Starting to zero in on a "final" look for Louis, at least for the three minute animation. If I manage to turn his adventures into a graphic novel this man will definitely have plenty more outfits and color swatches, but for the short animation I am leaning towards the French colors - it is much simpler and easier to associate Louis with his nationality from the get-go, since the animation won't have pages of background story.

He is also staying a blonde, though I'm having trouble settling on a shade. I am leaning towards option #4: Medium-Blonde, possibly tweaking the gold trimming to make it darker so his hair doesn't melt too much. As with the previous color experiments, I feel the darker the hair gets, the less of his flamboyant carelessness comes across, and less of his light-footed daintyness. In a perfect world I'd be able to shade and shine his curls like crazy, but the animation's color will likely be colored with flats.

#7 seems to fit rather nicely. Maybe a pinch darker to avoid loosing his pretty face among the curls? Something between #4 and #7 I think.

I am going to agree with ~Vinctia... I think the color would suit him.... but none of us know the character that does most of his actions in your head and not in the comics we see...so what would we know? ;P

I like 2 or 4 the most, they seem to represent all the comics with Louis the best

I agree, I like #4, but #2 is nice too.

Personally I'd go with #3 (Ash) or #7 (Beige), it just fits his "style" the best. The darker tones makes him seem too "dirty", lighter colors show cleanliness, also more flamboyant and elegant.

I think #7 is perfect. Not too light, not too dark.

Btw, love Louis!
