Not really. The colors don't clash as bad as they could have, but that's still not a very good color balance. It gets even worse when he drops his aura and his hair turns teal instead and he loses the the extra blue hue that shifts the rest of the outfit.

The coloring and shading of the hair when he didn't have his aura up was weird, it didn't match the rest of the show, it doesn't help that the shots with his aura down weren't drawn the best.

Black Goku looks more like Goten to me. Plus he has sleeves, something Goten always has.

I really feel like they went back to their old gi's because of Black Goku, Goku's F gi is similar to Black's and Vegeta's had a similar color pallet.

You're crazy if you think this is just as bad as some of the worst shots shown in episode 5.

Using the new palette that is debuting in today's episode to replace Goku's skin and clothing colors makes it look a lot better.

Then I shifted the hair color a tiny bit away from green and more towards blue.

I think it looks fine, the main issue I have with it now is just that the hair isn't colored and shaded properly, and that god awful lime green sky making everything look worse.
Hopefully since we're getting a new palette they pick a more blue color for Super Saiyan Blue.

What if you used the 2008 special palette?
Goku's skin could be less reddish, but I think this design is so much better than the one now.

5 more hours and we'll finally get the 1st ep of this arc.
If Goku black does kill Bulma I hope toei pulls a drama card for it, like while Goku black is choking Bulma to death Bulma then remembers Goku as a kid and tears up.

That's even IF Black isn't only an entity before becoming Goku Black, which I assume will happen after he follows Mirai Trunks into the past.

Yeah, I'm also getting the feeling there trying to tell us something, using Him in the end and not the PPG's Him either

Can we give the whole hair complaining a rest already?
If they had just stuck to one design I probably wouldn't be complaining.

I hope they end up "picking" purple hair. It's fantastic that Toriyama is the original author who "has right to change whatever he feels like", but basic regard for artistic consistiency is fully justified expectation from fans.

Questions about hair colors will be answered in a few hours from now. We would know if he dyed his hair or they are just going with the blue design.

I'm still hoping the anime keeps the Blue hair
Also, Goku Black is looking cool in those promotional materials

I love the black outfit
Almost 3 hours left

Sleeping until the tournament is over.

Um, I thought the trailer pretty clearly showed blue-purple hair? Why is this even a subject?

Let's place our bets how much more will Goten shrink in new arc

It's a trailer, and if Toei felt like going back to purple they could've re-coloured the hair this morning before sending the final files for airing

With all this new promotional art with the lavender hair you can think that just the preview has blue hair...
hoping not but its still a possibility *prays for the blue hair*

What say the six-star Namekian Dragon Ball?

Well it's just better to wait. 3 hours or something, right? Too bad I can't watch it, I'm still at Episode 28...
