Greek Minty/Chloe question
« on: June 02, 2014, 11:53:07 AM »

Hi all, I just added some Greeks to my herd and one of them was adult Minty/Chloe.

Now, I had known before that from Dollyhair saying that Daiquiri Ice was only used on a couple Greek ponies - that BABY Minty was one of them correct?

Well, I've been trying to figure out - did Mama Minty have WHITE hair or Daiquiri Ice hair? Because I can't find her on Strawberry Reef, it shows a picture on the MLP Wiki that looks white as white can be. And it's hard for me to tell when I just try to search Google Images for either Chloe, Minty, Baby Chloe or Baby Minty - to actually SEE this Daiquiri Ice light aqua color in photographs. I assume it's easily washed out by a camera flash or harsh lighting if faded... ?

Here's the thing though. My Mama Minty, for sure, had Daquiri Ice hair. I can see it on the butt of her tail stump (you know what I mean, inside her body) and also that the inside of her head plugs are very light aqua. There are streaks of it, like, you'd see a fading pink hair pony may have a few strands or streaks that were still a bit "pinker" than the others even though it faded? - So she's got a few hints of it in her actual mane and tail, which only her forelock is cut so she does have a full tail and most of her mane.

All the stitching inside looks identical to the other Greeks I have, and I'm struggling to take a photo that can pick up this SLIGHT hint of color, ARGGGG! In a "display pic" she looks like she has white hair. Up close on inspection it's obvious she doesn't.

So, summary: Was she released with this Daquiri Ice type hair color and it's just super prone to fading out on them (both Mama and Baby)? Or was she released with both?

Here's just the display pic of her, again it's not /really/ able to show this slight color - I mean, I can see it but... I'm not sure it's totally obvious, it may just look like her green body is reflecting through to make the color - but I've laid her against other Minty's and other white haired ponies, and hanks of white hair, both next to the tail stump and inside head wave (though I don't want to pull her tail OUT out, I just push her butt in to look at it, if that makes sense?) and it's clearly not WHITE.

Greek minty and regular baby minty have very pale green hair, not white and not daiquiri ice. There isn't a match on dolly hair for this very pale green.

So any time she's listed as white hair it's just faded from this green? I mean almost every picture of her looks just bleak white - I'm guessing this color must've had the same issues as our friend "fading pink"?

There may not be a match but, that's the closest color that I can think of and is referred to anyway, haha ;) (Like if I were to try and make a custom or something?)

I think you are right about the fading "fading green" rather than "fading pink"!

It does show up as white in pictures and at a glance the hair looks white :) often if the hair is dirty it will disguise the colour.
