Check it out! I did some color correction in Photoshop, and... Bam! They're red, baby.

From the panel on the left, which is an unaltered framegrab.
This is significant because in the DJ's first (and until now, only) appearance in "Suited For Success", she was in shade because it was a night scene, so her actual colors were a mystery. A lot of artists have depicted her coat color as pale bluish grey, forgetting to correct for the shading. I corrected for the shading in my color key chart, assuming that her coat color was white, although I later found a comment from one of the animators (though I can't remember who or where) that her coat color is actually a very pale cream.
So when "A Canterlot Wedding" aired yesterday, and the DJ appeared in a scene at the end without nighttime shading, I was excited! (The scene, of course, is the one where Pinkie Pie pulls the DJ up from behind the turntables and says "Let's get this party started!) I know the colors are correct in that scene because the whites of Pinkie's eyes are pure white.*
So when the DJ appeared again a few seconds later and lifted her shades, showing her eyes for a moment, even though she was in nighttime shading again, I was able to correct for that using the previous scene. So now we know... BAM. They're red, baby!
*Well, almost pure white. It's actually 99% white, because apparently if you make an object in Flash pure white, it becomes transparent. I actually corrected for that, but it's imperceptible.

The episode's up on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsix.....MKUCk&hd=1 I downloaded it in 1080p.

Are you sure it's correction and not falsification? (Video not made by me, my YouTube account has the same name as my account here.)

Yes, I did. I examined it against the highlight in Vinyl's eye, which is normally pure (well, 99%) white. Sure enough, it had a faint bluish tinge on it, which is a common way to make a cartoon scene look dim without making it look dingy, as using just gray would.
Interestingly, her coat's not actually pure white; I thought it was when I corrected her colors back when "Suited For Success" was the only instance we had of her, but it turns out it's actually a very light, faintly yellowish, cream color.
