You know, I have noticed that when I wear a black skin, i tend to wear red with it, and i get the most people running from me when I am dressed like that.
Black fur with another color gives you only a slightly better chance at conversation.
A light colored fur usually gets a better reaction from a random chat, especially if you're dressed like a kitty because everybody loves kitties!
Arctic fox is good too, although you are often mistaken for a kitty.
I am NOT a freaking KITTEH!!! WRAWRF!!! *chomps* :oops:
*smooths fur, straighens dress and composes self* Ahem. Sorry, touchy subject. But, yeah, try lighter colors and I bet you'll notice less people bail on you.
