have you done strawberry for a pet color review? i always appreciated how cute the pets are despite such a simple concept :3 would love to hear your thoughts!
Strawberry is an incredibly old color, having been around since 2000—almost as old as the site itself! Unsurprisingly, it's a pretty simple colour as well, with little in the way of variation. For the most part, all strawberry pets become red with seeds, and they gain light red or bright green accents, with many also gaining leaves and sometimes flowers as well.
While it's not a very complex colour, I do find myself liking it a good amount. It's nice to have a simple concept now and again, and strawberries are a very cute fruit. While it arguably overlaps with Woodland a little, the specific berry and food theming is unique and is more reminiscent of a fruit Chia if the colour could be applied to all pets.
Unsurprisingly, strawberry pets weren't affected by customization very much other than some minor art clean-up. They also haven't shifted in terms of design much over the years; the only real noticeable difference is that newer strawberry pets tend to be more saturated than older ones.
Chia: The strawberry Chia goes the extra mile by just straight-up being a strawberry; not unusual for Chias, but somewhat surprising here as you can paint it strawberry instead of only having a magical Chia pop as an option. Not a whole lot else to say other than the shading looks pretty nice.
Kyrii: Only a select few strawberry pets have strawberry flowers on them, but they always look nice when they are included. The strawberry Kyrii has a perfectly balanced palette and just the right amount of seeds, with the entire mean being nice and leafy.
Bruce: The way the strawberry Bruce's stem forms the front head feather is just too perfect, especially when combined with the leaf bow. Once again, the seed placement looks good here and the flowers add a lot the design. I do like the Kyrii a little more as I think the underbelly color works better, but both are nice.
BONUS: Admittedly I don't know why the mouth looks weird and the eyes probably could've been green, but I like the strawberry Ruki. The natural shininess makes it look more strawberry-like than most pets, and like the Kyrii it has a good balance of colors. I also like the detail of the leaf antennae.
Koi: Instead of looking like a strawberry, the strawberry Koi looks like a regular Koi that got some sesame seeds stuck to it during lunch. There was also an obvious missed opportunity to have the fins be leaves. I also think there's too much green in the design, and I'm not a big fan of the incredibly bright, oversaturated hue as opposed to a more natural leaf green.
