So far the dominant colors in Echo are gray and blue, giving a somewhat 
cold look to the theme.
IMO the emotes are about human feelings so I find more appropriate some 
warmer colors so the human seeing the emote would identify better with 
the emote. Probably yellow orange would be fine, but a little more 
orange than your emoteY.png.

Definitely, no white area for 16x16 and make the black area larger (make 
the whole white area black)

Right, the nose is an unneeded detail (it does not contribute in any way 
to the specific emotion). Even at 48x48 was barely noticeable, so better 
without it.
