TAF Munchy body colour help

[pinkkittywinks]

Hi ponies,

I have been commissioned to make a couple of special Munchy customs I have never made anything Munchy before!

Please can anyone tell me which ponies have the same or very similar body colour to Munchy? I need to do a fully body repaint. I don't own Munchy and it is quite hard to match body colours via online images

Without having her in front of me I'd say flutter Rosedust. Let's see what everyone else has to say!

[LadyMoondancer]

Hmm . . . she's kind of a pale yellow, more muted than Lemon Drop, Lemon Treats, Bubbles etc . . . When I get home I'll see if I can find any ponies who match her really well.

If I remember right, she's sort of banana-ish? I'm wondering about Kiss Curl as a match. But I haven't seen Munchy in a while...Naynie's is packed away and I don't own one.

Maybe there'll be one at Ponycon you can play match to? Or do you need it done by then??

[pinkkittywinks]

Thank you for all your replies

Taffeta I need to have them done in time for Christmas so if I can see one at PonyCon that would be very helpful, I hadn't thought about that!

Too dark: Masquerade, Tic-Tac-Toe, Floater
Too orange: Creamsicle
Far too dark and not nearly pastel enough: Bubbles
Not pastel enough, and too lemony yellow: Baby Nightcap, Baby Splashes (purple hair)
Too muted/grey: Lemondrop, Baby Crumpet
Not quite warm enough: Posey, but otherwise quite close.  Tickles is even closer, but again a hair too cool a yellow. Twinkle Dancer & Baby Splashes (fading pink hair, european) same thing, not a warm enough yellow but otherwise a match.
Best Match: Baby Lemondrop (but beware, there are multiple versions of her. :C )
Ever so slightly not pastel enough / warm enough a yellow: Baby Lucky Leaf

Lemondrop may be a dubious evaluation given how much variety LD has over the years/issues.

If you have any ponies specifically you'd like compared, I can probably do that.

Hi pkw,

Can't wait to see what you come up with: I love your customs! I don't have as many ponies as other people, but here are photo's of those whom I do have. Just please keep in mind that I believe my Munchy to be slightly faded:

None of the ponies I looked at were an absolute perfect match, but some were pretty similar. I did not compare any baby ponies as my only yellow baby is baby Bouncy and she does not match at all.

The pony whom my girl matched the best was HK Posey.

Sky Dancer was close, but not perfect:

She is too dark and too yellow to match my girl

Rose Dust was also similar but not exact:

Here are a couple photos of my yellow ponies, may not be the best due to lighting... Munchy is a very pale creamy white, every pony I have is darker hued. The closest I have is Snowdrop or Lemon Drop but they are both more golden. I thought Rosette would match but she is a somewhat brighter yellow too.

Thank you all so very much for all your help this is super helpful for me.

Nightglider and prancingstag those pictures are so helpful annnd you have beautiful ponies too 

Baby Sugarberry your list almost sounds like my internal monologue while I was looking at my own ponies "nope, too bright, too lemony, too pastel etc"

I'll be sure to share pictures of them when they are done
