no, 18 is still too much. (I fear this is more of a recolor/revamp than edit, but let's not go there yet)
the thing with your colors is that the less contrast you have, the more you'll need to make up for the readability, and that is not right. Take your avatar for example, as far as color goes: You can see the difference between red and dark red because they're really different compared to each other (that's what contrast is, difference between two shades). If you increase sontrast, you can ditch out many in-between colors and still have a visible sprite.
This contrast issue is also important for his face. Notice how everything is blurred and you can't even see his eyes without focusing a lot. This shouldn't be happening, his face must be really visible from the get go.
