I was trying to get across a pretty clear message of "I am a vulture, and I will feast on your carcass given the chance!" with this one. So the color choices were pretty straightforward. The only tricky one was the outline, which I had to play around with a bit before deciding on the brownish-purple. It also really helped, at the last minute to make the claws black, somehow tying it back to the eyes. Creepy!
