Costume Rating 6: All New X-Men

[Tomato]

No daglob, it isn't. Both his current and most depictions of his classic outfit (note I said "classic" rather than "original") have the shirt colored differently than the belt and trident, both of which are clearly intended to be gold. Depictions of Aquaman wearing a gold shirt (Such as with Alex Ross) are very rare, and never look quite right. Aquaman's costume looks best when it's a metalic orange... Compare the decos on the rightmost figures here and here.

I only partially dissagree. It does look better metallic orange. I think the original concept was for golden scales, but the coloring capabilities of the day did not allow for that.

However, gold was usually yellow, so maybe I'm wrong anway.

But Gold in The Metal Men was orange, so...
