Title: Hair match for Lavender Lace? (forelock)
Post by: Noasar on October 14, 2018, 08:59:45 AM

I have a LL with a severe haircut who I would like to rehair with long, straight hair in the original colour.

Any idea what hair is a match for her? Lucky Clover looks pretty close but that's Medley's colour and I don't think LL has the same hair colour?

Thanks in advance!

Looks closer to Key Lime to me, going by the Wiki photo. Could be wrong, though; I don't own her.

I second key lime, too  :) comparing my Medley to my Lavender lace, Medley’s hair is much darker.
Key Lime looks to be the right color :heart:

Thanks guys! Are there any other ponies that have key lime so I can compare, if I have the pony?

Edit: woah I’ve just looked up Key Lime and it looks way too bright. Unless my LL’s hair has faded?

I have Scrumptious and I’ve compared it to LL and it’s not a match.

The colors nearest to Key Lime, then, are Sour Apple Martini and Envy.

Envy matches a stripe in Masquerade, Quackers, Baby Quackers, Mimic, Tic-Tac-Toe, Twisty Tail.

Sour Apple Martini doesn't match any G1 ponies, so I doubt it's the correct match for just one pony. Not ruling it out, just saying it's unlikely.

Thanks Skig. I’ve ended up ordering 6 different hanks from Retro Dolls so we will see!

Update: So I went with Shamrock in the end from Retro dolls. Grasshopper was also a close match but I went with Shamrock which was a cooler colour that complimented the body colour better. I think Shamrock is also the same colour as Bubble’s hair.
