Ponies You Love That Would Look Better In a Different Color?
« on: March 27, 2015, 08:58:30 AM »
What are some ponies you love, but would look better in a different color? For example I love Whizzer to bits but I think she'd either look better in her cartoon hair, or the hair she has but with a white body. Because her pink color is lovely, but impo does not mesh with her beautiful hair.

So lets hear some examples from you about your favorite ponies that could use a color tweak.

Hmm... I love all My Little Ponies! I'm looking at pictures and pictures of them now, and even the bold colored ones I don't prefer are sooo beautiful! If I could change anything about color, I would have the ponies retain their original colors instead of fading and discoloring! (I'm looking at you, Confetti!)

I wish flutter pony Yum Yum had a different hair color.  Don't get me wrong, I think she's gorgeous as she is!  But she'd be even more lovely with a different hair color(s).  Like maybe white with red stripes?

I agree with the ponies retaining original colour vs fading. I really have a twitch about fading pink hair on most ponies.

In terms of ponies in general, this one already exists but I adore the colour of the Dutch pony Dagboek compared to Seven Character Bright Eyes. Bright Eyes is and always has been my favourite, but Dagboek is so vibrantly blue I can't help but wish more ponies were that colour.

I would like Banana Surprise to be any colour other than that shade of pink. I don't know why, but I find her a fairly insipid pony to look at.

Also, Minty as she was shown in the Fact File:

 I spent years as a kid looking for this pony before I realised...she didn't exist. Sigh.

Pretty much any purple pony with yellow hair, except maybe Daisyjo. That just... isn't a pleasant color scheme imo.
And Shady would look lovely with with white or light blue hair  ^.^

Lol... yeah I wasn't thinking about hair color at all...

I could use a lot less chartreuse in my ponies' hair. Like yellow or green? Pick a color! But they gave us this neon stuff that has no business in ponyland.

The G1 MO Birthflowers, I like their hair color and symbol colors, but a bit of body color variety would have been nice...

I would certainly like to have seen a different version of Fizzy with her TV/movie colours, as they have a kind of unorthodox appeal to them. That said, I do love her toy colours, they are absolutely gorgeous. Tuneful would have looked a lot nicer with her prototype colours as well, in my opinion.

a Lot of g3's could use at least a different body color. So many of them are just "pink". I get that pink ponies will always sell better to little girls but so many of them are the same  shade of pink and there's almost no variation. Just the same-old generic "tickled-pink" like you get in a box of crayola crayons....Great examples of at least a different tone of pink would be Ribbon Wishes and later versions of Toola-Roola. As pink as they are, they still stand out in a herd of pink since they're a bit more vibrant in comparison. I don't even care what color would be chosen for the bodies, even if it looks awful with their manes at least it would be something different.

Twist and Twilight, I wish once they were deflocked their purple body color wasn't so dark. It's just too dark in my opinion. I'd love to see them with a lighter purple color.

Ah yes, I second that.

I think Morning Glory would look much better if her hair were . . . almost any other color.  Like blue or purple.  Or even straight yellow or green.

I wanted to say that I love all ponies as they are, but then I remembered G3 Waterfire, which probably is the only pony that I would change if I could (that's why I'm planning to get/make a custom of her one day). I always kinda wanted her hair to be more of a bright orange than red. I don't know why. I think it would look more fire-ish, since I associate fire with orange rather than red. I love her red hair as well though :)

I agree with the posters above: The birthflower ponies would have been better if they came in different colors (The alternates should have been the mainstream set). Shady would have looked much prettier with a different color scheme; although I'd make her but a lighter pink instead of changing her hair. Twist & Twilight would have looked better if they were more of a pastel purple.

On an added note, I'd change Princess Tiffany. Realistic color combos like white w/ white seem out of place in MLP.

But, as a whole, I'd keep the ponies the same.

I kinda wish G4 Twinkleshine was the pale cream color that her animated version is. I like her how she is too but I think she'd stand out more if she wasn't pink.
