(Apparently I'm an idiot and created this topic in the 'Adoptables' board... can it be deleted?

Okay, so I want to make a bunch of customs of background ponies from the show, and obviously matching hair colors is an issue. Surely I'm not the only one with this problem, so I was thinking... maybe there could be a universal color matching guide? Obviously you wouldn't HAVE to follow the suggestions, but I think it would be a good starting point for those making a certain pony.
The thing is, I've never actually ordered nylon hair from Dollyhair or anywhere.
BUT, I think if we work together we can make a comprehensive list of the best hair colors for several of our favorite background ponies. This is the list I've made so far:
Aloe - Water Nixie
Amethyst Star - Sour Grapes/Mulberry Crush
Berry Punch - Bougainvillea
Big Mac - Passionfruit
Bon Bon - Pacific Ocean/Old Bubblegum
Braeburn - Butterscotch/ Honeysuckle
Carrot Top - Passionfruit
Cherries Jubilee - Watermelon Martini/Venom
Cloudchaser - Arctic Frost, Snowflake
Colgate - Twilight/Forget Me Not
Daisy - Frivolous (Polypropelene)
Daring Do - Black Magick, Hematite, Nickel,White Witch, Moonlight, Raincloud
Pony/Ditzy Doo - Lemonade
Dr. Whooves - Hazelnut
Fausticorn - Venom
Fleur - Fairy's Breath/Virgin Snow
Flitter - Daiquari Ice
Lily - Sunlight/Sophisticated (Polypropelene)
Lotus - Pink Sugar
Luna (S1) - Water Hyacinth
Luna (S2) - Forget Me Not/Amethyst
Mayor - Virgin Snow/White Witch
Mr. Cake - Mango Tango
Mrs. Cake - Pink Sugar/Bubble Gum
Nurse Redheart - Dusty Rose
Octavia - Hematite
Pipsqueak - Copper Chocolate/Roasted Almond
Pokey - Hyacinth/Snowflake
Queen Chrysalis - Blueberry Muffin
Raindrops Pegasus - Mermaid
Roseluck - Hot Lips/Bubblegum
Screwball - Sour Grapes/Snowflake
Soarin' - After Midnight
Spitfire - Marmalade/Mango Tango
Thunderlane - Daiquiri Ice, Arctic Frost
Twilight Velvet (Twilight's mother) - Snowflake/Brambleberry
Twinkle - Pink Sugar
Twist - Pomme D'Amour
These are my best guesses from comparing the images on Dollyhair to screenshots from the show. Since photos and screenshots aren't always reliable, this is where everyone's suggestions come in. I'll also add ponies to the list if any of the popular ones are missing.
Anyways, thoughts?
