G4 Pinkie Pie...which colour hair does she have?

[daisyd]

I have a multitude of nylon hair colours, but have no idea which one is the most likely one to match up to G4 Pinkie Pie.....does anyone know please?

I spent ages trying to colour match Pinkie. I've checked every pink I have (which is most of them) against the various Pinkie baits I have.... you know whats most frustrating?? 4 FS Pinkie baits and every single one of them had different coloured hair. I mean, not hugely noticeable, but noticeable enough when you are trying to colour match. Same with the 6 zillas I had in my bait box - all slightly different.
Heart Throb is close, but its not exact. The closest I got to Pinkie was a batch of custom dyed snowflake I did for Princess Pinkie (mostly rose pink RIT dye, with a tiny bit of wine RIT added, if I'm remembering my 'recipe' correctly)
I haven't checked MLC's newest nylon colours for a match, but I expect Elise could check that out for you

I love to recycle hair. I have this very problem. Pinkie's Pink hair isn't a color I reuse now. Fluttershy Pink are also a bit off and so I just stay away form G4 pinks now.

I didn't have anything suitable in the end (wut? I have a whole box full of hair.....) so I decided to just go with what I had in the end  two darker pinks, one light, and a white stripe in the mix too.

IIRC a lot of the G4s don't have exact matches with older gen hair colors - which is weird assuming that Hasbro is still using the same nylon supplier.

It's also really weird that Pinkie doesn't have a consistent hair color. Are you sure it's not because of fading or anything?  (of course it might just be Hasbro cutting production corners somehow)

My G4 baits are generally straight out of the box/package and into my bait bins. And in Pinkie's case, I checked 12ish ponies against each other trying to find a match - Jupi can attest to my absolutely losing my mind over this, I was ranting for a good half an hour as I sat surrounded by baits and hair. In hindsight, it would have been quite hysterical to watch
