cider float 2,539 August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 If you look at the mane six and the new addition to the team (Sunset Shimmer). There is no green in their mane or coat. The CMC is more bleh in their color choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 42,158 August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 There was Tree Hugger I suppose, she was the most green pony we could have, figuratively for sure. I think the color schemes work fine though, the CMC's are really nice to me. Redeem me into childhood. Show me myself without a shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CMC is more bleh in their color choices. Rainbow Dash has one green streak, but I see what you're getting at. I guess they thought green just doesn't sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyNamedEarl 1,332 August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 I'm pretty sure it's because green just doesn't look good on a character. 1 Creator of MLP Ruined Vines and Recorder Sh*t Equestria's Biggest Hip-Hop Nerd Everyday is Leg Day!

TerminalObsession 250 August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 I dunno why, green is a cute color Because green should be used where it's fitting. I honestly can't imagine the Mane Six with green in their designs. Imagine Twilight with a green mane and you'll understand. Shoosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponylaces 1,870 August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 (edited) Because green is not a creative color Eh, green only looks good on certain characters (ex: Tree Hugger). But I think all of the ponies have great designs. Edited August 30, 2015 by PonyLaces hello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikeable Pony 2,700 August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 I seem to remember hearing that Toy companies generally think little girls don't like green as a color for character, hence almost no green ponies in season one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereComesTom 2,269 August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 I seem to remember hearing that Toy companies generally think little girls don't like green as a color for character, hence almost no green ponies in season one. That could be it. Fun fact: among the FiM chapter-books they're selling, green is the primary color Rainbow Dash's book. Probably because she's the only one of them with any green on her anywhere. 1 Help the main six stop the Weather Factory Meltdown!

chirox the pony 1,336 August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 I don't think green works well as a secondary colour. No if such a thing is to happen I'd recommend waiting for G5. No matter how hard I try these ponies will simply never leave me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Lona 382 August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 One reason that green is not present in a lot of character designs is that its most complimentary colour is red, and red and green together signal Christmas in western culture. Obviously I don't want them to change now, but in the very beginning they could have integrated green into Fluttershy's design. I think it would be fitting because she's a bit of a hippie. 2 My OC, Tabula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlutterDash4072 190 August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 Yeah, but the shades of green they use are pretty ugly. The shade of green I like doesn't fit the show's color palette very well. Signature made by Wheatley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Guide 21,371 August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 Green seems more to me as Spike's color. I mean, look at the end credits of Rainbow Rocks. Spike's portrait is colored green.

I've heard similar, specifically that Hasbro thinks that green pony figures don't sell and so don't allow green characters on the show. But then again, as pointed out, there's been a few green ponies scene, and Granny Smith is green so who knows.

Tao 8,778 August 31, 2015 Share August 31, 2015 I think they would hit green or shades of it on older to stallions or backgrounds given this is a show for young girls and young girls like bright colors that also captured the eyes and etc! Also Queen Chrysalis has greens and shades of them also and is a QUEEN not a puny pony princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, but she's also a villain, and it took hasbro forever to manufacture villain toys for the show. They seem to have wised up now about the target audience loving to buy toys of their villains though since the sirens, Midnight sparkle and Starlight glimmer seem set up from the get go to be turned into toys.

Merion 783 August 31, 2015 Share August 31, 2015 But then again, as pointed out, there's been a few green ponies scene, and Granny Smith is green so who knows. And Granny Smith's colour scheme works really nice! Especially when combined with her orange shawl and the red bonnet!
