DollyHair color help.

[Loaded--Dice]

Hi all!
So, I've decided to do a re-hair and repaint to make one of my OCs.
The bait is a FS Pinkie Pie.
What I need help with is choosing the closest color hair from DollyHair.

Brownie Cake Here is the character. (Same one as in my signature.)

I bought some "Passionfruit" hair, which looked close in the picture online, but in person it's way too orange.
Anypony seen a shade of Nylon hair in person that matches?

Thanks! ^w^

I would think more like butterscotch or golden delicious, I agree that passionfruit just isn't right.

[Loaded--Dice]

I originally thought "Butterscotch" also, but it's a bit dark. I'll have to see if one of my sister's G1s is a match for "Golden Delicious" and see if it's what I'm after.

Thanks for the input. ^^

See if your sister has G1 Applejack.  She's Golden Delicious.

I'd say maybe Golden Goddess? Might be a bit dark. I can try and take some comparison pics of various yellows I have for you later, if you like.

If you want to go with DollyHair I would personally try Golden Delicious. If that doesn't work I would recommend Retro Dolls, they ship just as fast if not faster than DollyHair http://www.retrodolls.co.uk/blonde-nylon.html maybe Honey Bun? IDK, you could always email Melanie the owner RD and send her a pic of your OC and ask what color she recommends, I've done that many times in the past and shes never steered me wrong (You could ask Tina too, but shes a little slow at answering)

The other thing you can do if you really want to stick to dollyhair is go outside of Nylon. Kanekalon is nice. Polypropylene is near identical to Nylon so maybe Glamorous? I have never worked with Acetate, but she claims its really nice. I also don't think you should use saran, I don't think it will look good in that type of style.

Anyways hope that helps!

Golden Goddess is a lot more brownish in person, so I think it would be too dark.

[Loaded--Dice]

She doesn't have an applejack, but she does have a rainbow pony with a streak the same color. After looking at that and some pics online, I think it'll be the most likely candidate.

@Pythia - Golden Goddess isn't quite it, I think.
I wouldn't want you to go through any hassle. Thanks, though!

@LittleKarara - Thanks for the links. I checked them out, but I think Golden Delicious is still closest.
I actually did e-mail Tina, but it's been about 4 days. X]

That'd be my pick for it too.

Email her again, she gets tons of emails and sometimes a few get lost.

I've gotten so much input here I'm not sure I need to. 
I think I've decided to go with Golden Delicious.
Thanks everyone for all the help!

Looking at the drawing in your sig I'd say Golden Delicious is the right choice.
Of course, after clicking on the link to your DA I can understand why others are suggesting Golden Goddess.

Yeah, I want the custom to be "Hasbro-accurate" I guess you could say. Something that matches the show and my character.
Going more for the look of this hair. Link.
I probably should have mentioned it in my first post, but I guess hind-sight's 20/20. X]

Thanks for the input. ^^

Edit:
Now you've got me thinking though.
What about a mix of Golden Goddess and golden Delicious?
Any thoughts or experiences with this combo?

And does anyone know how many hanks of hair it takes to re-hair a FS? I bought three last order because I didn't want to run out, but with having to order again because of the color not matching like I thought it would, I don't want to spend more than I have to and what-not.

[pop-girl]

I've never rehaired a G4 FS pony so I can't help with that but I'm sure others could.

I absolutely adore color blends and use them all of the time - blended colors add a lot of depth. I've never used this particular blend but I think it would look great. You can order them preblended or decide to do it yourself.
If you decide to do it yourself you might be able to trade the Passionfruit hair for the colors you need in the Dollyhair trade thread: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,286465.0.html

Good luck!

[Sarahlacewing]

Do you want me to send you a little piece of golden delicious just in case there is some fade to that g1?

[Loaded--Dice]

Thanks, but I'm super imatient and already ordered hair. X]

I posted the passionfruit in the trade thread a few days ago, so we'll see.

Thanks!
