If you could tweak the color scheme...
« on: May 09, 2020, 11:40:27 AM »
I wanted to start a fun topic  ^.^ Sometimes there's a pony, and you feel like they would look so much better if you just slightly altered their color scheme.

For example, I've always thought it would be cool for Miss Painter from G2 to have the 3 primary colors as her color scheme, given she's a painter:

So if you could alter a color scheme for a pony from any gen, what would you do and why?

Banana Surprise should be yellow. And her colouring less insipid.

Ah, G1 Ribbon (and Baby Ribbon).  Her color scheme reminds me of my dad's fishing lures...  I would give her more toned-down hair colors, like replace the chartreuse and neon orange with white and like...literally any less-neon color XD   I have similar feelings about Twist.

I would make Steamer less pink. I feel like his color scheme is really not interesting nor particularly pretty. It' not even really better with faded hair Though I like the streak in his mane.

A mother pony can be protective of her young just like dogs.

THIS, to at least half the Pink Ponies!!! Several G3 Christmas ones would look better in red, while we can go orange, purple, red & burgundy for some more

I generally dislike pink ponies with bluish or greenish hair, like Baby Schoolbag or Firefly (although it does depend on the shade of pink, and there are some exceptions, plus pink with REAL green hair is gorgeous, like MGR Sunnybunch, Raspberry Jam and prototype boy Baby Schoolbag). I think any other hair colour would be better on some of them.

Also, Snowflake! Who on God's green earth came with the idea to make her hot pink? I like her, but she would be so much prettier in pale blue or something.

And Baby Starflower Stella (the orange one, I am familiar with the discussion, the orange one is Starflower for me anyway) would look so much better with white or bright blue hair... Pale blue would be even better, but there is no pale blue hair in G1. She looks kind of sweaty and gross like this. Which is a shame, because this is one of my favourite sets ever.

Blue G3 Midnight Dream! I mean, come on, this pony was practically calling to be blue, and what did Hasbro do?

Make her pink, of course. *shakes fist*

Strawberry Swirl should have had gradiented hair, or Blossomforth having something more akin to her G4 iteration.

The brush n grow ponies hair colors.  I like these ponies but not the color combos in the hair.  Multi-color haired ponies like twinkle-eyed and princess brush n' grow ponies seem to me, for the most part, to work with the pony.  But not the regular brush n' grow set. 
That being said, the Princess ones would benefit from better inspired symbols.
