What is more suitable for a fictional polar bear? Blue or green?

Here's a list of tiger\lion fanboy arguments debunked.
"Siberian tigers can hunt Ussuri brown bears which are as large as Kodiaks"
Fact: tigers hunt brown bears very rarely. And Ussuri brown bears only average 264 kg in comparison to Kodiaks who are 500 kg on average. Tigers also mostly target females and cubs and there's no confirmed account of a tiger killing an adult brown bear from 1933 to 2021 but there are 4 confirmed cases of male adult tigers losing to brown bears.
"Tiger can weigh up 800 pounds"
Fact: the largest reliable wild tiger recorded was 600 lbs.
"Tigers have 70% of muscles"
Fact: no animal can have 70% of muscles. To reach that percentage you need to lose 7% of fat, which is out the norm. 70% of muscles is also from a starving tiger.
"Bears are fat, which means they are pound for pound weaker than big cats"
Fact: bears get fat only for hibernation whereas they have low fat percentages in normal seasons. Yet the fat doesn't even affect them as they don't lose any muscle mass nor get heart disease. Fat doesn't mean less strenght - fat man who gained the title of the strongest man exists. Siberian tigers can be fat as well, they sometimes need to fat up to keep themselves warm during winter months.
"Big cats are stronger than bears"
Fact: tigers like most cats are digitigrade while bears are plantigrade, meaning bears have better limb movement which allows them to use upper body weight and have also more upper body strength. The hump is also an advantage as it powers forelimbs.
"Even cougars have killed bears"
Fact: no single authenticated instance of a cougar killing a full grown grizzly. And most accounts between cougars and bears are anedoctal.
"Bears can't paw swipe"
Fact: bears can paw swipe more efficiently than big cats due to better limb mobility. They only seldom using paw swipes in dominance fights, which aren't supposed to be intense and they do use their jaws more than paw swipes because of an ancestral trait. They will actually use paw swipes in desperate situation, they even have been reported killing preys with paw swipes.

Bro, that is very old data, from Kucherenko, from 1964 if i remember correctly. More recent data, from 2019, from Seryodkin and others, show that the average is 286.4 kg (631.40 lbs)

/\ I meant losing not dying.
Gorokhov also reported one case where a tiger (referred as "he") losed to a bear after attacking it. Then we have one account from Soviet Literature of a tiger (reffered as "he") lost a fight with a huge bear after attacking it.
Only tigers who hunt brown bears are male adult tigers.
