What if the G1 Rainbow Ponies...

[SubmarineHallucination]

...Didn't have rainbow hair?
I don't know. It just came into my head.
What colors could each have in their hair besides a standard rainbow?

[hathorcat]

Oooooh! I cant even picture them without their rainbow hair. However I imagine they would each look pretty cute with a main colour which matched their symbol and then a steak of complimentary colour through that

I think Skydancer will look awesome with green hair! Windy's hair should be purple with a pink stripe or maybe pink with a purple stripe!

And Moonstone will look stunning with white hair with a golden stripe through it... Wait isn't that Sunbeam? D:

I think Moonstone would still look pretty that way. 

I think Moonstone would look pretty with silver hair with a midnight blue streak.

Waaaah this is SUCH a good idea! I love the Rainbow Ponies! I'd really like to see some people's fanart or rehaired ponies with this concept!

[Ionn]

Such a neat idea! Skydancer with rich green hair, Starshine with golden hair, & Starflower with either violet or a darker blue. Or maybe magenta. So many wonderful options!

May I add an additional request? What other ponies do you think would've made great rainbow ponies?

[mlpkatie]

I can see Starshine having blue hair with a gold yellow stripe, or the other way around

I've done a mommy and baby cotton candy in rainbow and firefly too.

I've seen your Rainbow Firefly! It was stunning, and i've never quite seen anything like it!

It still disappoints me that the Sundae Best ponies are not rainbow haired in nice soft pastel colours - I always think they need to look more candy like

[Fisha Seabreeze]

Hmmm good question, everyone made such good suggestions already.

[Ionn]

Gaah, rainbow haired Firefly!! And doesn't someone here have a Moondancer (nirvana?) who's rainbow? Really, I think just about any pony would look good in rainbow hair, but then rainbows are one of my favorite sets!

I think Pinwheel or Parasol would look nice with Galaxy's hair colors. Galaxy was my 'unofficial rainbow pony' when I was a kid 'cause I didn't have any actual ones!

Ooooh, & what about Pony Bride with a meticulously done full pastel spectrum? I think I'd like that.

Well you can check out how bowtie looks with rainbow hair in my avatar

I know lots of nirvana ponies have the rainbow ponies with solid color hair.

[Prideth]

Ohhh but I love them so much with their rainbow hair..!  But that's not the point of this exercise.  Hm!  Well I think they'd all still look great with some bright solid color hair.  but I've seen some customizers do some amazing things with the darks and blacks.

Oh that would be interesting for sure with no rainbow ponies!
