If I remember correctly he said that one of the first colorful ponies in a comic, Mascara, was more colorful because she not only brew magic potions but also was constantly high on them.
So I think Pinkie just fell in a cauldron as a foal.
@Pagan
It’s a person, a different person to the original who went and spammed it on every page, so this one is probably doing it as a joke, but doesn’t realise I can see who it is doing it, and can ban him for it.
@zippysqrl >>1094546 That was why I specified more contact than previously. In that panel, Anon just has 1 arm holding each of them. While in this page, he has both arms wrapped around Marble, while she’s also holding onto him in a full hug.
The backgrounds I just took as an artistic licence, separate from the in-universe colorings.
Also, my response was more to your statement that Anon would be super colorful if the colorings were based off of magic. [Though I’m also remembering that Pencils said the reason Mascara Maroon was more colorful was because she was often drinking magical potions, so had more magic within her.
So I wasn’t saying that their emotions don’t also effect their color.
@bronytanker
I believe that’s the latent magic within them. How their coats have some color showing,m and their eye color is effected greater by the magic within them.
That’s been my understanding from the explanations Pencils has been making on previous uploads~
@Zebasiz
Observe >>1101757, how as she evaluates the situation and starts worrying, her colours become less desaturated.
And >>1094546, how they don’t become more colourful from contact with anon(numerous other pages show this also).
And >>1087595 + >>1085881 + 1085178, the backgrounds are suddenly very colourful based on the emotion in the panels.
@zippysqrl
I thought it was more of: Since he’s constantly just absorbing all of it, he’s colorless, because there’s no magic sitting inert within him, it’s all just rushing into a “void” he creates.
And then Marble being more colorful in panel 1 was because, being in such direct contact with him [much more than simply being picked up, or holding a hoof to him] She intercepted a tiny amount of that magic herself and got more colorful since it interacts with her normally~
At least, that’s just how I interpreted what was happening. =T
