It's too likely to accidentally make avatars public.

On the avatar web page, the "Publish Avatar" and "Switch to Avatar" buttons are nearby, but they should not.
I think "Publish Avatar" should be placed near the "Delete Avatar" button and have a warning color.
In addition, "Publish Avatar" button will publish the avatar immediately, but I think VRChat should confirm if user actually want to publish avatar with dialog.
These two buttons have very different risks.
Switching avatars is low risk, just wearing the avatar.
On the other hand, publishing avatars has a high risk of violating Terms and Conditions of the model file.
For most commercial assets for avatars, It's not allowed to publish an avatar for everyone.
That's why "Publish Avatar" should be placed near the "Delete Avatar" button and have a warning color and VRChat should confirm if user actually want to publish avatar with dialog.

The overall color UX of buttons on that page is rather confusing and inconsistent. Especially their correlations and implications of their actions.
- The text "<lock> Private" determining an avatar being private (in the top card under its name) is pure red, while the button for making the avatar private is orange.
- The button for making an avatar public is green while the action itself is rather dangerous.
- The button for making the avatar private is orange, while the Content Warnings active buttons below are orange as well.
- Delete Impostors button is primary, just like the Add/Remove To Favorites, or Switch To Avatar, when all of these actions have different implications of being either additive, negative or neutral.
- Inactive but clickable Content Warnings buttons are gray, just like the disabled and not clickable Delete Impostors button.

This suggestion still seems somewhat awkward.
If you do it close to a "Delete" button: Having confirmation on both "Delete" and "Make Public" while they are so close to each other might make someone accidentally delete their avatar one day as well - because both give you the prompt and people eventually will just get used to pressing "yes" on a confirmation.
also: Orange color to me feels more like applying a "limitation/restriction" as opposed to making it "Public/Available".

Nayutune Orange color for changing security / access level.
Suitable both for public/private.

If the "Make Avatar Public" is made Orange, what color should "Make Avatar Private" have?
I think that only moving the button, and leaving color alone should be enough. If people still somehow mis-click the option to make an avatar public, it's quite likely they'll quickly notice as the button color will change

The same.
Both orange.
They change security settings but revertible.
