The Karkus is green. The reaction to that was a thing. I've no idea what colour he is in the TV episodes - most renditions I've seen online treat him the same way - flesh tones, probably a naked torso. Are there colour photos of him anywhere? Paging Andrew Pixley! I don't know, but what I do know is the Karkus is described as green-skinned in Peter Ling's Target novelisation of The Mind Robber, and who am I to argue with the Karkus' dad?
I had plans to reuse the Great Intelligence for years, and in June 2009 this story presented itself, so that's about it. Colouring him was fun, but slow, and I've never been so attentive of closing outlines and mentally blocking out colours in an Erato strip - the originals, by the way, are still just line art with no blacks at all.
And if the Karkus being green doesn't work for you, then feel free to ignore!
