I like the aesthetic I have developed throughout the project, I purposely wanted to keep the colours from being too saturated and explosive as a change from the majority of TV aimed at children. I think the content and characters have enough personality through the animation and texture without needing to complicate things with a mass of bright colour.
I kept the background's white to draw focus to the simplistic cardboard scenes, only that matters and the rest of the world is empty - much like children's real surroundings disappear when playing a game and are imagining a totally different environment.
Having said that I've received one or two comments that the overall look might be a bit dull/cold and that the background may be blown out/over exposed in a couple of spots so I went back and ensured there was a lot of detail in the grey/white background textures and then as a final touch to add a bit of warmth and slight colour randomness I added a very subtle 4-colour corner gradient. This is a common technique to break up the tone of a very light background and just adds a little more interest to the frame (bear in mind the screenshot uploader is still darkening images on compression - the result is lighter and more subtle in the video):
