The problem isn't the colors, but the saturation. You got a strong blue against a weak green/grey. It would be better to lighten the blue or darken the green. Backgrounds tend to be very sensitive to much saturation though, taking the limelight, so a light grey with just a hint of green might work. But you can also use gradients or even a lightsource-type background to make it look better.
Colorsets are ok enough - but only useful if you are confident at putting matching colors together yourself in the first place. A person untrained in that can make a disaster of the best matched colorset in the world.

Looks like a Dinosaur, that could be some spin...

Also looks a bit like a howling basset hound (nose at top right, ear flying out to the left). Could make an awesome Rorschach test.

She didn't actually say that. What she said was "Let them eat brioche".

Yeah agree. I was basically saying that we should not get stuck on one that is "ZOMFG the best combo ever!". There will always be umpteen combos that will work, so I'm all in favour of messing around.
Would be happy to skip pale blue too. Totally dropped it in my guinea pig theme, and nobody misses it.
