New to Nirvanas! Quick question about Italy Starflower :)

[sweetapple]

Apologies if this is a noob question :p I have noticed that there seem to be 2 variations of Italy Starflower in my hunt for her:
A light blue version who is similar to regular Starflower, and a darker blue version with slightly different hair colours, such as the orange in the front of her mane.

Firstly, have I got my facts right or is the lighting in every photo I've seen just playing tricks on me? And are those the only 2 Italy starflower variations?
I have been after her darker blue colour for ages, but every version I come across seems to have frizzy, dry hair like in the photo. Is this normal for that version? Does the hair look sleek and shiny out of the box?

If anybody has any information, pictures, or a dark blue Italy Starflower they're willing to sell, please let me know

Many thanks!

For the body color, I'd say it's the lightning but for the mane color, I don't know if it's a variation or sunfading.

Don't know if this helps but I have one loose italy startflower and one moc and both are the same bodycolor and haircolor that you see on the first photo. Interesting if there is two versions. Stalks thread

I don't know anything about this pony I'm afraid, but as a photographer and frequent user of editing software, I can tell you it's the lighting and post editing that has made the one on the left so bright and colourful, and a lack of lighting on the second one that makes it so dark. Same can be said of the mane colours, although a little fading may be true as well

[Miss_Pompon]

I checked on my starflower and the orange mane is lighter on the pictures I took of my pony than on the pony itself, so it's probably the lightning too.

I always though may be the lighting was off in that picture and that was why the stripe looked more dark peach in colour.

Don't forget to check the nirvana gallery as there are all known italy variants shown.

I'm an avid Starflower fan. As far as we know there's only one Italian Starflower.
If you're looking for her I have an extra one

Thank you all for your help!

Lady Starflower I've sent you a pm.

I personally don't think it's the lighting, I see the body and orange as different shades. Even the pink in her mane. Maybe it is just strangely faded 
If there is only one version, then that's a relief :p Though that darker blue is pretty!

EDIT: After some playing around, I do believe someone has shifted the hues of that second photo to get the different colours. I did the same and got what looks a bit more like the Starflower we're familiar with:
