If you had a bald Galaxy...

[Taffeta]

What colour hair would you give her?

So I haven't done any pony rerooting for about 15 years, but I found a while back a Galaxy which I have had for a really long time. She has absolutely no hair on her at all. None. Clearly she came to me as a bait, although her body is clean, her symbols are there and her eyes are mostly ok. So I have thought for a long time that she should have hair.

The problem is I don't know what colour/s to give her. Should her mane and tail match? What colour combinations would work well? I am not looking to recreate Galaxy's colour scheme, because I don't do restorations and without her real hair she's essentially already half a custom to me. But she can't stay like this. So I would like to give her a new look. But I am having trouble working out what look would work best.

So if you had a bald Galaxy, what colour/s would you give her?

And in case anyone is wondering, I will be marking her hoof as a rehair if/when I get her finished, because that's what I personally believe in doing

I always thought it was weird for Galaxy to be a space themed pony and be so bright.

Royal blue
GitD
Deep purple
Metallic Gray

Hmm. Maybe I'd stay around her warm color scheme and do a pink to red to orange gradient? LaW's suggestions of purple and blue would be nice, too!

[Safflower]

She has a bit of purple in her symbol plus her warm color scheme so maybe this:

Orange
Red
Pink
Magenta

It's a bit close to the original but still different. Or you could try:

Aqua
White
Pink
Magenta

Which is a bit cooler than the original.

Going off of Dollyhair's hair colors (although if you don't want to order from them then you can just find similar colors )
IN ORDER FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE HEAD DOWN TO THE NECK
Raspberry Sorbet
Venom
Sour Grapes 
Forget Me Not
or
In Any order:
Sour Grapes
After Midnight
Pacific Ocean
Blue Moon

Or you could mix and match those colors if you want! Glow in the dark would also be a cool idea...and if you wanted to be really ambitious you could paint glow in the dark swirls all over her legs, like the swirls of a galaxy

I'd rehair her to match this painting of the Unicorn nebula.

That’d be so cool!!  that nebula is beautiful

I'm gonna be weird and say either all dark purple or dark blue with either one white or one yellow stripe.

[BlushingBlue]

I would stay with the traditional four-color hair for TEs and use very dark blue, lavender, deep red, and either white or very pale grey. (Not necessarily in that order.)

[Taffeta]

Hrm, lots of ideas . When I get home I will try to dig her out and photograph her so you can see the victim...

I am going to add that while I can reroot with no problems, I'm not an artist and I'm not going to be trying to add or change anything on her body, so no added paintwork or anything like that. Years and years ago I did make baby versions of Parasol and Masquerade and they are still surviving and look ok, but those are fairly simple Galaxy is going to stay as Galaxy. Just with  new hair

The nebula picture is pretty but I wouldn't know where to begin. I can see all the colours in it but I wouldn't be able to apply that to rehairing.

[PoserBeachball]

I've had some fun rehairing in two colours, one on each side. Depending upon how you brush/style the hair the pony can have different looks. For the tail just layer up the colours so they look striped.

For Galaxy perhaps dark purple like black cherries down the right hand side, undersown with a strong terracotta?

[NightGliderSA]

Oh to have a bald Galaxy! I would probably choose a rich dark purple with a white (or glow in the dark) streak. Dying to see the lucky pony

I find these alternate hair colors from one UK comic story pretty interesting!

^ argh I just love those original drawings so much!

Can I be a pain and say that I love Galaxy's original colours so much that I'd never change them. However, I would re-hair her with poofy yarn hair and possiibly some glitter strands and tiny stars too.

[Taffeta]

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys

I have to say the comic image tempts me as doing something that related to my childhood is very compelling.

I;m also going to reiterate that I am not going to rehair her in her original colours.
