Today I will be discussing
blue ponies! Blue is one of my favorite colors for ponies, probably in my top three. There are so many shades of blue from a bold rich blue like Tuneful, Star Gleamer, or Twisty Tail (to name a few) to a lighter blue (some may refer to it as a powder blue or pale blue) like Sweet Stuff or Sugar Apple to an aqua shade like Sunlight to a turquoise shade like Cranberry Muffin or Tassles to a shade of blue that could be described as periwinkle or ash such as Sparkler of Ringlets.
There’s almost too many shades of blue that it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what shade of blue a pony is. There are even a few I wasn’t even sure if they were blue or green, but I’ll get to those later.
When I think of blue ponies, the first two that come to my mind are Bow Tie and Wind Whistler, who are very classic blue ponies. Also, Bow Tie was one of my very first ponies in my childhood collection. These two blue ponies are not only classic ponies, but they also have pink hair. I feel like blue ponies with pink hair is a very popular color combination and I can see why because those two colors compliment each other quite nicely. Other blue ponies with pink hair include:
-Squeezer (let’s be honest: Squeezer is a Happy Tails Bow Tie!)
-Coco Berry
-Baby Cuddles
-Dainty Dahlia
-Mommy Sweet Celebration
-Tornado
-Princess Serena/Aquamarine
-Posey Rose (Funny story - Posey Rose was part of my childhood collection and it was only when I was doing research for this that I realized her name was Posey Rose and NOT Posey Rosey, which I had been calling her all these decades! Whoops!)
Sugar Apple is a very pretty blue pony with her dark pink and white striped candy cane curls.
I also need to shoutout to the Italian Lickety-Split who is blue with pink hair. She is gorgeous! I much prefer her to the pink body, pink hair Lickety-Split!
http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/File:Blue_ls.PNGAnother color mane/tail combination I really love with blue is white. There’s just something classic about blue and white. They’re just two colors that look really good together. Sunbeam’s aqua body color with her white hair gives off a very icy look (ironic, considering her symbol is a sun!) Night Glider and Princess Taffeta are also blue ponies with white hair. And (so soft) Fifi gets the best of both worlds by being a blue pony with white hair with a pink steak.
I also think blue looks really good with rainbow/multi-colored hair. Moonstone, Sunlight, and Starflower from the Rainbow Pony collection all look great, but it’s really Sweet Pop, and especially Sweet Stuff and Bright Eyes that I love. But then again, I may be biased because the Twinkle Eyes ponies are my favorites set. I used to be sleeping on Bright Eyes, but, ahem, she really woke me up (a little humor since her symbol is an alarm clock!) with her bold and beautiful colors. Sweet Stuff’s light blue color with her pink, purple, and white hair and pink and purple gumdrop symbols is just such a pretty combination.
Blue is a pretty common color among the Big Brother/Mountain Boy ponies. Quarterback is a blue pony with blue hair, 4-Speed is a pale blue (almost gray-ish) pony with blue hair, Barnacle and Tornado are blue. And of course there’s little Lucky who’s all blue.
Off the top of my head, I can think of three ponies that have “Blue” in their names: Blue Belle, Princess Royal Blue, and Blueberry Baskets. I think Blueberry Baskets is the bluiest blue pony (yes, I realize that’s not a real word!). She’s blue with blue hair and has BLUEberries for her symbol. Princess Royal Blue is not a shade of blue that I would associate with the color royal blue. I think of royal blue being a deep, rich blue.
Blueberry Baskets, Lucky, and Quarterback may be monochromatic blue ponies, but they’re not the only ones. Peach Blossom and Angel are also all-blue ponies.
I already mentioned that Bow Tie was a childhood blue pony I had, but others I had include Tropical Breeze (my favorite flutter pony and I loved her bright red hair), Sparkler (her blue is almost a periwinkle), and Ribbon (another classic blue pony, though sometimes I wonder if she mostly red hair with a chartreuse streak if that would have gone better with her coloring).
I’m not a fan of the Rockin’ Beats ponies - their colors are garish and they have ugly and nonsensical symbols, but if I had to pick the one I liked the most from that group, it would be the blue pony, Tuneful. The blue with the red and purple hair and symbol shapes gives off a striking color palette.
Now let’s discuss the ponies where I’m not sure if they’re supposed to be blue or green because they’re in that almost in-betwen hue. Cranberry Muffins, Tassels, Woosie, and Salty/Tug, are turquoise ponies who I can’t decide are more on the blue side or the green side. On their backcards, their illustrations look green, especially compared to a true blue pony. (For example, Woosie looks green when she’s next to Squeezer, but again, this is their illustrations). Sometimes Sky Rocket (the sparkle pony) looks blue to me, and sometimes she looks green to me. I suppose when you’re looking at a pony on a screen, and not in real life, you’re not always going to see the proper color it really is.
Who is your favorite blue pony?
