I have a plethora of reasons that might start arguments but I'll just stick to two: one, if there's a recolor at the top of the page then it's really pointless and if there's is one hidden then it would otherwise cause some people to stay away from a possibly very good page.

This is more of a question but when do we draw the line when it comes to recolors or is there not a line, are they just all bad? I'm asking because some of ones I see are technically recolors but they're pretty good.

The issue is with that picture, is the fact is that it is not a recolor. It has major edits and changes made on it. If it was a simple green rouge then yeah that would be a recolor. But what I am seeing right there is a entirely different character. I honestly thought any creation that uses an official picture from Sonic X or anything else is considered a recolor... It depends on the length of edits made on it. This picture is heavily edited and turned into a personal creation. Now if it where something like this:

This here is Negative Shadow, a past user who decided to post this picture wayyyyyyy back when and called it an original character. But this as you can see was a blatent recolor. There are other recolor options such as just making Sonic Red and making no other change. No edits made cept a pallet swap. That is a recolor.

That's....... pretty funny. Go into paint, press "Select all", right click it, click "Invent Color" and look at what you get. Lol glad you can call it funny. XD It made me cringe when it first appeared on this site. I was like, ohhhhh dearrrr. XP But yeah, I hope I shed some light on what is a recolor and what is not. ^^
