I generally prefer the anime colours, but with Piccolo it's reversed. I wish he had the yellow arm/red waistband throughout the anime too. Pink and blue aren't bad, just not as good.

I think both look great, though I think I prefer the pink!
Anyone who knows about color theory can say if either of them have some good theory going here?
I believe that detail talks about Namekujins in general in the anime, not just Piccolo.

Piccolo Daimao debuts in the anime with his old design having those parts of his arm colored yellow, and Kami works the exact same way until his very last scene in the anime.
Those details change to pink when Daimao gets young.
In flashbacks with Younger Kami in the anime, those parts are colored in pink.
With the other Namekujins, The Grand Elder and older ones all have those parts of their arms colored in yellow.
The younger ones are pink.
So that pretty much tells us that the pink in the anime is because old Toei viewed the yellow color in those parts of the arms as a Older Namekujins feat.

I prefer the red waistband too, this + Goku wearing a orange gi closer to yellow (like in the manga), instead of red, at least in Z Movies 6-9 you get to see that (+ Movie 10 also has the "fake Piccolo" with red waistband, and strangely, reverts to the typical anime blue waistbaist when it's revealed to be Kuririn)
