Icon colouring

I made a new colouring technique yesterday and I suddenly started wondering which one is better and therefore I need your help.

Style 1 all the way. I especially love the second and fourth one from the first set. :)

Yaaay :D So glad you like :D What is it that you especially like about Style 01? :D

Well, right now I'm a big fan of simplicity and elegance and I think those are two qualities the first set has. (Man, do I sound like I'm on a job interview or what?) And the coloring seems really appropriate for what's going on in them - it's like you're focusing more on the characters and their emotions than overpowering the icon with really loud coloring. Aaaalso, the second set is somewhat grainy and pixelated, and it seems like it's because of the intense blues you used.

They're all rediculously pretty, though.

Definitely Style #1. In the other style the colors just don't mesh well, IMO.

also, style 2 is WAY too trendy right now. everyone is doing that blue thing. it's kinda pissing me off. :P i love the first V icon especially much. :)

These icons are super pretty. I love the first batch more, it's just gorgeous.

i personally prefer more natural, vibrant colors. the blue can be a nice touch, but sometimes it's a little too much.
