Sprites generally dont look right to me if they dont have some sort of darker outline, be it jet-black or simply darker shades of the inside colors.
Sprites, especially player sprites, needs enough contrast to stand out from the background 100% of the time, regardless of what colors of terrain are behind the character at any given moment.
If somebody tries to show you a sprite with jet black in the negative area, you cant honestly give an accurate opinion about the image itself because your eye is tricked by the background color acting as an outline.
I'm simply saying it does you more justice to see the image independantly, if you aim to make something look good 100% of the time, it ought to look good regardless of what color is around it.
Donald did this alot when showing me stuff, and most of the time it always looked great with black fill around it, but when I showed him how the sprite looked with white surrounding it, even he agreed sometimes that it needed more work.
