Anna I ordered loads of hair from Retro Dolls UK and as far as I can see, there is no match for DH Atomic Turquoise, is that correct? RD Reef came close, but not quite right...

I have taken some photos of some matches that I can put up here soon too.

yess, atomic turquise is really bad, reef is far more blue. there is a light blue which looks to me like a shiny version of atomic turquoise, but it is definitely not a match. Melanie ist working hard and researching for these colors, so maybe in the future.

i am really looking forward to our "comparison party" ;)

I currently rehaired a Slugger and his streak I did with Strawberry Surprise (DH), which is better than Wonderland (RD). Wonderland is too pink and too cold. But I matched it with my Slugger who has exactly this hair color.

Melanie gets a closer match for Atomic Turquoise soon.

Yes there are some other mistakes on there that I noticed too.

Is Wonderland a match for DH Heartthrob? I couldn’t order any Wonderland this time as it was out of stock, so I couldn’t compare it with the the Heartthrob I have left.

I’m glad Melanie will be getting a match for Atomic Turquoise in!

I’m also looking for a match for the Rainbow Curl Stripes blue stream. I thought it was Atomic Turqioise but it’s more green.

Hmm my stocks are running low and I've only ordered from Dollyhair before. Can anyone advise me on the following DH-RDUK matches?

- Whites - what are the closest matches for Virgin Snow (I consider this the "standard" white) and White Witch (more muted than Virgin Snow)?
- Blacks - is Obsidian a pure black? It looks kind of matte in the photos, not close to DH Black Magick... as far as I can see this is the only black colour available? (RDUS seems to have a wider selection)
- Greens - is there a dark green colour similar to Poison Ivy available? Doesn't need to be an exact match. I can't find any dark greens and Poison Ivy is one of my favourite colours...

virgin snow is like the shiny version of peppermint or dove kiwi.
i do not have an exact match for poison ivy now, but i barely have dark colors.
i guess obsidian is true black. all in all, retrodolls are not as shiny as dollyhair if you compare them side by side, but they have a real nice touch.

Friends, from the picture friend provided, I think Tangerine Sorbet Nylon is a match for G2 Petal Blossom!

Also, is Babycham, White Chocolate or Honey Bun nylon a match for G3 Baby Hokey Pokey's tail? From RetrodollsUK.

i do not have hokey pokey but from the pictures it looks like lemon meringue RD, which is lemonade in DH.
tangerine sorbet is the peach color in G1, like in the rainbow ponies or on Nachtlicht.
petal blossoms mane seems lesser translucent on the pictures and more vibrant?

sometimes, it is really  difficult to get the colors right in photographs! i swear i do my best, but browser and monitors can all display colors differentely.

now onto fading pink. well.
this color even fades differently on different ponies! so i took some comparison pictures. Pandabearchan/isabella told us before, fading pink has an orange undertone which is difficult to get right.

and now onto the most difficult to photograph:
destiny nylon fron retrodolls.

it is suuuper close to lemon drops purple, but destiny is slightly more blue in its undertone.
