May i suggest a color scheme more akin to this to save on palette memory?

Hello.

Thank you for your suggestion, but to achieve having white eyes and black outlines, I need to use two palettes anyway : so I figured I might as well keep the shadows, which are more proeminent with Hamton's sprites than they are with others'.

In your suggestion, the colors counter would be of 4, which can only be achieved by using two palettes, since the brighter color is always transparent (leaving 3 colors for one palette).

Mine is of six, as evidenced below :
first palette has pink + green + black
second palette has white + darker pink + blue.

So you see, in any case, the same amount of palettes will be used : don't worry though, every time you select a character, the first two palettes are updated, leaving 5 more for other sprites anytime.

Overlayed main sprites are finished. Had to make the hard decision to remove Hamton's shade, so I can have a common 2nd palette for the 3 of them, based on Plucky. This saves 1 palette for the vegetables, and gives me 1 more for other sprites. But look, Buster got his tooth back!

How about giving Hamtom's pants the same color as Buster's fur so that you save another pallette

I need two palettes anyway (one is green + orange + black, and the other one depends on the character - for example Hamton is pink, but Buster needs red).

That being said, I was suggested to use orange for Hamton's shadow, which could actually blend in quite well : I'll make some tests this WE. :)

Great compromise I guess. They look superb!

It may not look like much, but the GUI at the bottom of the screen is now entirely white! (The faces are not set yet, since they depend on who you're playing, so I have to add some more tricks now that I'm replacing tiles).
