Colour Changes in Timeline-42: Pandora and Minerva · 1:44am Jul 23rd, 2012

While working on my Trail of Candy stories for submission to EQD -- a prehistory from the start of the "Dark Age of Disharmony" as mentioned in "Hearth's Warming Eve" (if not by name) to just before the events of "A Rainbow in the Dark" in T-42 -- I realized that the colouring of the twin Atlantean princesses as it was (dark overall) only worked for Princess Luna; going from dark to light for the sisters as they were when they were fillies (and just before their ascension) didn't yield the results desired, alas.

So, I lightened them up a fair bit overall (colour name from Procato.com/hex code):

Eyes: Vivid heliotrope/CA00E7
Mane: Very deep heliotrope/28002B (mare) / Dark heliotrope/5B1D63 (filly/pre-divinity mare)
Coat: Pale purple/E1B5FE (mare) / Light blue violetish gray/D2C8E3 (filly/pre-divinity mare)
Cutie Mark - Pandora: A stylized phoenix with vivid indigo/2C00DE + very light phthalo blue/879BFF feathers, and a four-pointed light brilliant cornflower blue/64C5FF star above its head, the phoenix's wings curled toward the star in exaltation
Cute Mark - Minerva: A pale cerulean/C1EFFF waxing moon with a dreamcatcher's web inside the crescent, and a four-pointed light brilliant cornflower blue/64C5FF star off to the right and slightly above the moon/web
Bionic limbs (Pandora only): Grayish fuchsia/AA5B9B legs and wings; her horn substitute is a white gold headband with an amethyst gem setting in the center

I guess this is really more for me just in case I commission some art, but at least some "pale horse/rider on a pale horse" jokes can be made, especially in regards to Pandora. Oh, and now your mind's eye can see the sisters better without going blind.

All the best,
Lady Jaye
