Pre-Millenium Celestia's mane is NOT ONLY PINK · 2:48pm Jun 22nd, 2014
Fix your headcanons.
This happened thousands of years ago, yet Celestia's mane is still prismatic. I know the idea comes from the book in season 1 episode 1, which shows Celestia as having pink mane at the banishment:
But we also saw the banishment:
So the book is wrong.
I'm not saying that you should go back into your old stories to fix them. No, keep them as is. But when you write a new one... just please... don't write Celestia with pink hair, unless Celestia is a filly, or the scene is in pre-Discord era, or put an Alternative Universe tag on it.

Or maybe the artists aren't as committed to the canon as the fans are.

Not to mention that this way Hasbro could have sold the same character again as toy. "Pre-history Celestia, now with pink mane! Buy it!
"No, we still don't care that her coat should be white"

(I'm too lazy to photoshop her mane to pink. Imagine it. )
As Indiana Jones once said:
Well, this may not be a museum, but the show still got lost in it's own storyline.
Fans will come up with excuses as to why it should be pink. Oh look, the first comment here.
Also, her disguise in TCoL totally has pink hair :P
My theory: they did pink mane to simplify. Luna's mane is also non-galaxic.
