Zero000 435 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) The colors of the rainbow (light spectrum) contains 7 colors. Rainbow Dash's mane and tail contain only 6 colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Indigo. So where's violet? Rainbow Dash's eyes are colored violet to complete the light spectrum. (A smart move on the creator's side) This also leads to her cyan-colored body to fill in the color between green/blue. You have to knows these things to be a true Rainbow Dash fan. Anypony support my theory? Edited February 6, 2012 by Daring-Zero-Doo 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Very smart, but the thing that annoys me is when she does a sonic rainboom andmakes a rainbow theres no leprachaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ MUFF1N D3RP 322 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Uhhh Zero, you do realize that there is violet(according to that chart you posted) in Dashie's tail in the pick you posted above, right? And I just checked, there is a small streak in her mane as well. But I think your theory is good though because these two streaks are so small that they made her eyes violet to make sure that we noticed all the colors.

RockinRarity 1,605 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I always thought that the tail was violet and that they just skipped the indigo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nah 3,180 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I am a Dashie fan and never knew that, but please, I think it was just laziness with animators for possibly, a better look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arylett Charnoa 4,916 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Honestly, whenever I draw the rainbow, I just consider "indigo" purple and leave out the violet. To me, they're so similar it doesn't even matter. The eyes being that colour probably weren't a deliberate choice, but I would be impressed if it was.

And I just checked, there is a small streak in her mane as well. But I think your theory is good though because these two streaks are so small that they made her eyes violet to make sure that we noticed all the colors. I agree. I would say her eyes are actually Pink Morganite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetolebob18 723 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Yeah ,Dash has more of the rainbow than just about any other pony. But, I'm one of those people that can't tell indigo from purple (or butter from margarine -there's no hope for me, I'm DOOMED to be called uncouth by Rarity ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dulset Tarn 440 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The colors of the rainbow (light spectrum) contains 7 colors. Gonna stop you right there because that's just completely false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastel 7,616 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Gonna stop you right there because that's just completely false.Of course there is an infinity of colors in the light spectrum, but I guess he meant we can roughly separate it in 7 colors.

Admiral Regulus 2,765 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Gonna stop you right there because that's just completely false. Yeah. Rainbow Dash's pelt color should be infrared, silly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges
SilverStarApple 848 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 NON, her eyes are Magenta. A beautiful, deep magenta, and a shining example of how red eyes can be done without having them be grimderp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cedar 1,404 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 That looked like a violet streak in her tail to me. As for the rest of her colouration, it's a deliberate riff on colour printing theory. In the printing industry, Three primary colours (plus black) are used to make any other colour needed. Those three primary colours are yellow, cyan, and magenta. Well, Rainbow Dash's body is cyan, and her eyes are magenta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
