Waddle Dee-Versity
Welcome to Waddle Dee-Versity! a slideshow of the various color pallets of Dees for adding Flare to your Diddly Delightful Dee Drawings!
a waddle Dee's colors can change heavily between games, with many variants and related species. It could be either due to different models, sprites, age, art, character differentiation, or even for game purposes!
Above are various examples, and the original sets of color you can color pick from. I've color picked from these and categorized them into charts.

In Kirby and The Forgotten Land, Waddle Dee's come in different hues for what appears to be the sake of it. I originally was just drawing a crowd of Dees for my comic, but I got carried away :)
A Dee's main color areas consist of The skin(probably fur), face, and feet.
I enjoy thinking about genetics, but a Waddle Dee with darker face tones would be cool to see.
I had split the base Dee's into 4-ish groups. Average, Special, Metallics (golden Waddle Dees and the 'toughness' Dee), & Yellow. Yellow is technically in the 'special' category, but the color yellow is more commonly seen in Dee than the rest.
A less notable change between Dee's is eye color! Eye colors I've noted are brown (most common), blue, hazel, green (common in golds), and purple, which I've only seen on Colossal Waddle Dee from Team Kirby Clash Deluxe.
Another possible foot 'color' is the same color as their face.
The Average pallet all together, the main pallet I would use when drawing crowds, & bystanders ('d pick like, 5 colors outta the many to use for simplicity :).
Martha, Kai, Huego, Geo, and his daughter Silvester were made with colors from different example Dee's to create an example look for a 'unique' dee.
Don't forget! gold is shiny yellow, gold and yellow themselves are two different things! or a least for the purposes of this post.
Average Dees with special green feet showed up in kirby's dream course.
An average can have special feet, a special can have average feet, etc.
Golden Waddle Dees are a staple of the Kirby series! however there's also a special waddle Dee called the 'Toughness' Waddle Dee, that only appeared in Kirby triple deluxe and Planet Robobot. Its only purpose was to be a test dummy for abilities. Hence, this group is called Metallics.
Although Waddle Doos are not Waddle Dees, they share about the same color range, with a doo's average colors being darker more frequently.
Grandies could be similar In face pallet to waddle dees, while key dees, often seen in yellow, appeared white in dededetour
That's all!
