The pink distracts from the yellow (which is already pretty pale) in 1.2.

1.1 could work. Maybe just the first panel since it shows the coloration is not natural.

Tom. [tup] Either of the two images or both of them work.

Fluttershy gets the "cowardly" part across better than Tom does, so [tup] to 1.2.

I prefer 1.1 since it demonstrates yellow directly correlating with cowardice, rather than it just being random trait + random colour. We get so many bad "Colour + Trait" TLP proposals and so many colour trope ZCEs that I'd prefer something that shows correlation.

1.1, since it shows that yellow isn't Tom's natural color and that it's used to highlight his terror.

I was thinking that something related to Wonder-Yellow from The Wonderful 101 could fit, though finding something that isn't just a dialogue box or Talking Heads might be tricky.

Fluttershy gets the "cowardly" part across better than Tom does

I have to disagree with that. In this specific picture, Tom looks more terrified. The fact that it's clear from the picture that Tom isn't naturally yellow, just turning yellow with fear, is a plus.

I am pretty sure Fluttershy being yellow is a coincidence and ponies are known to have colorful skin and hair so I am not sure if she's an example...

Anyways, 1.1. I can take or leave the second panel.

[up][up]By "skin and hair", you meant "fur and mane", but yeah.

1.1 is good, I don't think the second panel is necessary.
