huckleberry hound or pantone 222

Slate magazine (via Neatorama), after reflecting on the big-screen revivals of the Smurfs and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who are rather uniform, monotone visually--made up this brilliant colour-wheel of other endearing cartoon-characters. On the website, one can scroll over the swatches and learn about each character. There is not an over-abundance of the classics, and most are squarely recognizable to audiences of the 1990s with the Snorks, Tiny Toons, Cat-Dog, Thundercats, but maybe the hue and cry of Hanna-Barbera and Tex Avery alone could not cover the entire spectrum.
