She was in a bag of G1s I found at Goodwill this afternoon. I knew she was discolored.    But when I saw what she SHOULD look like (http://www.ponylandpress.com/us/babypeek.shtml#sweetstuff) I'm flabbergasted! 
 
Granted... the Pillowtalk, Baby Moondancer (which you can just barely see in the sink behind her) were pretty discolored too (Pillowtalk is all but GREY, rather than lavender...  ) But DANG! This girl looks like Milk Chocolate, that's just starting to go "stale/bad"... Not anything NEAR the pink she should be...
 
What on earth could have caused such discoloration??

Oh my goodness!  She looks like she was in a fire!

[ladybrooklyn]

She does look like a burn victim...

Poor thing, she does look like she was in a fire. . . or badly sunburned, at the very least.

I kind of like this color on her. It reminds me of a gingerbread man!

upsetting dragons is dangerous and should be avoided.

That was my first thought too, she looks like she survived a house fire! Although if she did, the odor of smoke would be really bad. So my second guess is some kind of really weird sun or chemical damage.

I was thinking maybe a fire too?  Or in storage where the temperature got very hot during the summer?  I'm really not sure.  Poor girl, glad you rescued her

[hokuspokus]

Auch. That doesn't look pretty. Hope you can restore her so she looks all cute again!

ugh! O.o poor thing, I bet she's FULL of mold, and/or been around a lot of smoke; cigarette smoke will discolor ponies giving them a brownish tinge...

Yes! I like it it too! ginger-breadish, or a mocha color.

Does she smell bad? Poor thing..
If she was in a fire I think her hair would probably be ruined though.

Looks to me like the poor thing has a horrible sunburn. I think Relcelestia or somebody else posted a pic of a sunfaded pony who turned that exact same color.

Well... I AM in Arizona... so that is a VERY distinct possibility... If there was an attic out here... and she was stored in it for a long time... I'm sure the wonderful summer heat could have "charred" her... O.o Scary!!!

As for smell... I haven't put my nose right up to her... but none of these ponies smells enough for me to have noticed it while I was cleaning them... *shrug*
