You know, the bright orange seems less objectionable without the clothing being there. I think it's the contrast with the green which was making it seem brighter.
How many parts did the clothing break down into Helmcargh?
Jacket (including the hunchback), trousers and shoes. And I agree, the orange looks better without the the clothes. I actually think the trousers are pretty cute themselves, they look like an old-timey bathing suit:
I must admit I really like the naked gnorbu, and the trousers are nice too Ithink I just object to the sade of green on the jacket with the bright orange mane...
