I bought an Edgar the Elephant from my local flea market a while ago, but he was missing a tail so I bought some new hair from Dollyhair using the color recommendation from this site (https://sites.google.com/site/mlphaircolorguide/), but when it actually came, it turns out the color was a bit off (though the site did have it marked as an unconfirmed color match)
I did send an email and photo to the person running the site to let them know, but I was wondering if anyone here might have a better idea of a color match than me? I have a photo of Edgar held up against a hank that I bought (in Lemonade)

As you can see, Edgar is definitely darker and more goldish/blondish than Lemonade which is pale yellow
Also, would anyone happen to know if Dollyhair does returns or exchanges? I don't really see anything about that on the site and I bought two hanks in Lemonade because I've read a bit of Dollyhair hanks being on the small side, plus Edgar has a bit of a bald spot that I want to fix. If not, I suppose I'll save Lemonade for another pony or a custom or something and Edgar will have to wait since I just started college again and books cost a lot this semester :cloud: I'm really new at restoring and Edgar's plastic is pretty thick and hard and I wasn't as careful as I could've been apparently, so, unfortunately, his neck got a little messed up when I took off his head to get rid of the remaining tail pieces left inside him and because of that, he definitely has to a permanent part of my collection now. It's not a huge deal if his hair and tail don't match 100%, but having a color difference this big would bug me forever

The closest matches I could see to my own collection are Applejack / Baby Applejack / Baby Crumpet, but Edgar's hair (at least on mine) is just a touch more brown and paler than any of them. It could be due to age / exposure, I don't have other Edgars to compare mine to. That'd be Golden Delicious according to Dollyhair - close but not an exact match. It's definitely not Mango Tango (Crumpet's hair colour) which is much darker. Golden Sun is a potential contender, but I wouldn't buy it based on a screenshot.

I believe it's Golden Delicious.
