One thing that's been bothering me was that the color keys for the Mane Six lacked consistency. There are certain color equivalencies between characters (examples: Pinkie's coat = Fluttershy's hair, Pinkie's hair = Twilight's streak and star) that weren't properly represented because I keyed the characters from different video files that were encoded by different people with different methods of color correction, so colors that were supposed to be the same were close, but noticeably different.

So I decided to fix that by rekeying them all from a single video file (in this case my copy of "Magical Mystery Cure")! Now they're all consistent!

They were also originally not consistent with other keys of the same characters (found in the main colorkey file but not here) wearing different outfits, like their Gala dresses, their Nightmare Night costumes, Rarity's various ensembles, Future Twilight's scary-looking getup, etc. So after I rekeyed the characters, I used those keys to fix up the ones with the outfits. Now all the Twilight keys use the same RGBs for coat, hair, outlines, streak, etc., and same for the other five ponies and Spike.

Plus, I made a key for Pinkie with Applejack's cutie mark, because there's a shade under her curtain of hair that's not present in its usual curly state.

Oh, and while I was rewatching Magical Mystery Cure, I noticed that the scenes of frames rapidly flicking by in the characters' eyes provided nice clear closeups of their iris colors, so I also reexamined how pony eyes are colored. Each eye has not one, but two gradients, using a base color and two different shades of it. So I put in a guide for how to color pony eyes.

Hope you find this useful!
