Hello, I'm looking for Retro Dolls US hair matching guide, I believe it was once posted here http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,385815.msg1656049.html#msg1656049 (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,385815.msg1656049.html#msg1656049), bur images long since expired. Does anyone have it saved and could share? In particular I'm looking for a match for fading pink and G2 Sky Skimmer pink.

Man I don't know as there's so much newer stuff but a link on that page led me here:
https://retrodollsus.wordpress.com/category/custom-my-little-pony/page/3/
So you could either use the contact form or PM Kalavista here as that page says is on the Arena!
Sure the community would love to find that guide again!

:blush: Oh never mind... I think they are interviewing Kalavista instead... anyway there is a contact form on their site...

I've contacted the owner, but didn't get the matching guide, I guess it's trade secret now. But I did learn that Pixie Dust is match for fading pink.

RetroDolls US' owner is a member here. She's enchantress41580. I'm sure she'd be happy to answer any matching questions you have.

A color matching guide would really help! :)
-
I was wondering if the other day there was a Retrodolls UK matching thread, that would be so helpful!
Maybe we should start putting one together.
-
That would be nice as I am trying to figure out the best yellow for Baby Sunset.

That would be like lemon drop or golden delicious normally right?

Mines are a pretty pale yellow compared to Applejack(G1) and Brilliant Blossom.

I think some of the colours may be the same but they have different names. They do let you return the hair so I’ve been ordering multiple different shades and sending back the ones I don’t want.
However none of their whites are a match for MLP white hair - they’re not grey/silver enough. So we might still have to order some from the US.

that made me curious now, would you start a color-match-thread? I will contribute if i find something you did not list already but it seems like you know more than me ^^

I can help out as I have a few projects either customes or restoration planed out.

Sure - I’ve not really ordered many from Retro Dolls UK though but we should definitely start a thread to add to over time!

I have a few hanks from TheDollPlanet on etsy.

Hello, I'm looking for Retro Dolls US hair matching guide, I believe it was once posted here http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,385815.msg1656049.html#msg1656049 (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,385815.msg1656049.html#msg1656049), bur images long since expired. Does anyone have it saved and could share? In particular I'm looking for a match for fading pink and G2 Sky Skimmer pink.
I think this is what you are looking for.
https://sites.google.com/site/mlphaircolorguide/g1year3 (https://sites.google.com/site/mlphaircolorguide/g1year3)
It has all the Dollyhair colors for each pony. Tho it says Galaxy has Sugarberry color in her hair and the hair I ordered and her hair are slightly off. Maybe due to fading, but the other 3 colors were perfect.

Hi, yes, that's my site. The majority of the guide was completed in 2011-2012, and many have reported changes to Dollyhair's colors in that time. That combined with a pony's condition can contribute to mismatching.
That said, I do not currently have matches for Retrodolls' colors, though I plan to eventually. enchantress41580 is the owner of Retrodolls US, which I believe is affiliated with Retrodolls UK. I'm sure she would be happy to help with matches.

Ok, I've started a new thread. Please contribute so we can get a decent colour matching guide on the go! We could also cross-reference this with Dollyhair - they have a comprehensive list of pony hair colour matches already.

will do!
I am gonna order a few pastel colors for a Easter doll/pony project :P

Well thank you for putting that site together. It's amazingly helpful and my custom Baby Wizzer looks spot on. That Galaxy was a frizzy hot mess and the body is discolored in some spots, so I'm sure it's fading. She'll get the new hair and Baby Galaxy will look just like her. :)
Future custom babies thank you as well, so I can get them to turn out right. Haha.
