5. The background and the character should have a certain contrast so the character is more distinguishable and generally more visible. The character should be the thing that stands out after all. A girl with green hair on a green and yellow background doesn't look very good.

Just to add something myself.
I have my own logo that I made a while ago, I usually use it everywhere, this place is full of
Anime stuff weebs, so I went with my
waifu for an avatar.
Whatever you find to be nice, I feel like you're overthinking it much, just go with what you feel like is the best for you. Could be a character from something you watch, could be a game character, can be your pet, can be your dream car or a landscape shot.
Some may be more suitable than others, some will just have a selfie as an avatar, that's an option too.
Besides, it's not like it's "for life", you can change daily, experiment and eventually settle for something.
