Red pigment in the paint used on symbols and eyes is notorious for leeching out and making eyes or symbols which were originally purple more of a blue hue. Cotton Candys eyes, Moondancers eyes, Gustys symbols it seems to happen a lot.

Their is a mail order Cotton Candy but her body is almost a hot pink in colour rather the medium to light pinks you get with store bought CCs and again her eyes are purple but sometimes over time can go blueish.

Cotton Candy is notorious for variants in shades of pink and eye colors. Most of it has to do with the Red Pigment - but there also is the amount of times she was re-released. She was released a a FF - then with the FF set again as CH, then she was re-released with the Applejack etc set. Then She was re-released as a Mail Order about 4 times. And the whole set was also offered through Avon.

Can you imagine the amount of Cotton Candies that were actually produced? The mind boggles
