Perhaps she looks darker because she has a darker mane, has opposed to the lighter mane Applejack has?

AB vanishes, AJ freaking out and she must Watch over her sister in an episode written by Scott Sonneborn.

It can't get any better than this.
Pinkie Pie: So, you see this here? This, um, this is um, a big, round room. It's known for its roundness, and bigness, and did I mention that it's round?

The dropper isn't much help, because shading makes the colors inconsistent even if you click on two different spots on the same character, but even then we're talking only tiny differences in the green range.

Them looking different is an optical illusion. Scoots looks more vibrantly orange because she has a deeper colored mane to contrast. Applejack has a more light and airy feel to her orange with the blonde mane.

Yeah, I guess this is it.

Fluts' hair is also Pinkie's outline or something, if I remember kefka's color guide right. I wonder how many other colors match...

Fluttershy's hair and Pinkie Pie's coat are the exact same color, as are Fluttershy's coat and Applejack's hair.

Not quite! On most ponies, the whites of their eyes are indeed white, but Shining Armor has sclerae that are actually very slightly blue. His coat is pure white so this is necessary to actually make his eyes distinguishable. :spike101:

As much as I like Applejack for her levelheadedness, it's always fun to see her lose her cool once in a while. I'm looking forward to this. Also because sister episodes are the best episodes.

Wayoshi wrote:Yeah, I guess this is it.

Actually, Fluttershy's hair is the same as Pinkie's body, and Fluttershy's body is the same as Applejack's hair!

And yes, I checked Kefka's color guides to make sure.

:starity: indeed. And here I thought they might be going the over-protective overreaction route when Applejack said it was dangerous...

Run Applebloom! I've seen what those things can do in Dragon's Dogma! :gonkity:

Also I have been hoping for a chimera on this show ever since the manticore in the pilot. I'm happy now. :awesomedash:

Holy shit, that's one of the most cinematic scenes I've ever seen FiM do. That really is a treat for the eyes.


I think I would've been happier with Apple Bloom not actually being in danger, though. This just makes her look foolish for doing that instead of making Applejack look far too protective. Of course, the episode could very well play both sides of this conflict, as last week's episode did with Fluttershy and Sea Breeze.

Maybe it's a nice chimera. :allears:

But yeah, that's some very '90s Disney cinema going on in that scene, and I mean that in the best way.

And it appears that once again, we see that Ponyville is like ten minutes' walk from horrible nighmarish peril. :v:
