Why so few Orange ponies?

This is just something I noticed in the show. I can only think of three characters in the show that have orange as a primary color. Scootaloo, Apple Jack, and Cheeses Sandwich. What do you think, is orange a under used color in MLP character designs?

Never thought about that. I think there are a handful of members of the Apple family who are orange. And of course, the Oranges lol.

Orange? what about green? :huh: . Not mint, GREEN

 

Tree Hugger. ;)

The Oranges are orange. I mean i guess if they were red or something that wouldn't really work....

 

Though in all seriousness, Orange is just a color that can really stand out. Putting orange in a background character makes the viewer get a bit distracted from the central action. At least in my Opinion.

I feel like there are actually quite a few orange ponies, but it might not be the most common colour just because it clashes with most other colours and is not a particularly "girly" colour. However, green and normal horse colours are actually quite underused, probably for the same reasons, and maybe because they just don't stand out as much.

Yes but as a whole compared to the slew of pink, blue, white, orange and purple ponies over the last three decades, non-mint green, brown, gray, red and black ponies are still uncommon and that does make them stand out more and their merchandise is more desirable because of it.

Haha, I'm pretty sure I've seen a "Why so few green ponies" thread around here somewhere.  :D

 

Back to the topic... Do Sunset Shimmer and Adagio Dazzle count?
