hi

Vinyl's eyes have always been red.

That was just fanon. Now it's canon!

Close enough to please the fans.

Man DJ Pon-3 eye are freaken beautful.

Because that needed to be known.

I heard they were magenta, but yay!

Magenta is a type of red.

Magenta is the color between purple and red, it's its own color.

How do we know what her true colors are?

Well, true, we know nothing of her loyalties, her likes and dislikes, her biases, her favorite bands...

:rolleyes: I mean, where are you getting the reference that you're color-correcting to?

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.

... that is so freakin pro :D nice job mate

They're magenta. It was already established in the decompiled flash object from the Royal Wedding website.

That wasn't meant to be seen, so it doesn't count. This ^^^ is from the episode itself.

Decompiled flash object containing something not meant to be visible in the first place =/= canon.

Just finished watching the episode(s)! So. Awesome.

Nice little nod to the fans (if that even was intentional). Awesome finale. That was a great season.

YAY!!

Where did you get the picture(s)?

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

Well, that link no longer works.

yeap canon kinda neat how they decided to go with the magenta red or red magenta XD

ALBINO PON-3 IS ALBINO

so this is where that red eyed pony from the old series went to now all we have to do is figure out photo finish's eye color

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.)

The nighttime shading has a bluish tinge to it. He didn't adjust for that; I did.

Yes he did, and it fucked up all the other colors.

Well, the video's gone now, so it's a moot point.

It is? Damn.

Well, did you check with this... color... gauging... method... thingy... if there really is a blue tinge?
Because I can't see one.

If there really is a blue tinge in the lighting, you should be able to see/measure that on Vinyl's pure white coat.

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.

Hm, okay, if you say so.

Yes! I saw her lift her sunglasses too, but I didn't get a good look. I was just thinking that that would be a perfect moment to find out if her eyes really are red! And low and behold, they are! This is great!

This is true!

I was wondering when the heck they were going to show her again.

I think both Red and Purple won since it's Magenta. Everyone wins! (Except the ones who weren't part of Team Red or Team Purple.)

(Yes, it is from the Journal Comment, but I thought it was appropriate for both places.)

... that STILL looks magenta.

I dunno what you call magenta, but it looks red to me.

In Adventures in Ponyville, The color of the player characters' glasses is determined by eye color.

I'm now thinking of her singing 'True Colours' in Cyndi Lauper's voice..

Her eyes are actually magenta, not red. And after Equestria Girls, magenta is canon.

Close enough.
