Yeah. See, I was trying to save the original line design of the classic Robin outfit while trying to see if just coloring his legs as leggings would please everyone. The costume actually is great, but bare legs seems a little vulnerable. (But people don't have trouble with a 15 year-old fighting armed criminals!) Burt Ward on TV made it work--but he was actually wearing flesh-colored leggings! But colors are often tweaked after the hero's first appearance/s--see the Hulk, Iron Man, etc. I just saw that the original Sandman's suit was originally colored orange! But soon it was changed to green and everything fell into place.
Alex Ross' design looks great, but extending the chainmail(?) shorts and his short sleeves does change the original line design too much.
Light green might work, without changing anything else.
