Need help deciding my OCs colors

[Professor Vertex 3]

So, I want people's opinion on my color scheme. Her name is Emberfrost. She is a member of Canterlot's upperclass who also teaches offensive/destructive magic at a magic school. 

 

So, my question is. Does she look better with leg gradients?

Or without them

The first one looks much better.

Lovely OC you have. I love the mane, and the colors are nice and simple. In my own personal opinion, she looks better without the leg gradients.

I would say without, they kinda stand out too much. But if you want them to stand out then it's ok!

I'd say without. Or, if you want them in, use a colour closer to the main colour, like just a shade lighter or something.

I kind of liked the gradient one; it did stand out.  But if I may suggest it, maybe you should try making the gradients more gradual?  The boundary between orange and brown seemed pretty stark, and once the color became orange, it didn't change any more going down the leg.

First one!  Adds some nice color flash!

I'd say with the gradients because it makes the pony really stand out, she looks different from the other oc or ponies that I have seen so far so I'd go with that

I'd say the first one. It could have a cool back story with it too, haha.
