Every once in a while, I want to offhandedly mention that Celestia is supposed to have a RAINBOW mane. How she's meant to be a nod to general pop culture rainbow + unicorn imagery, like pic related. But I always refrain, because I know that one autistic motherfucker will come in, and say "um acktuahlly it's supposed to be an aurora mane, idiot" and I want to fucking strangle that person before I even post anything.

She has a rainbow mane. Rainbows = harmony, peace, and hope. The sun is what makes rainbows, and rainbows + magical ponies always go together. No it does not need to be literally a roygbiv color order for the rainbow symbolism to be evident. And Celestia's mane is DEFINITELY NOT intentionally designed to resemble a phenomenon that (in cartoons) is always associated with COLD, POLAR REGIONS AT NIGHTTIME

Okay?!? Just so we're all on the same page.... RAINBOW. MANE. THANK YOUUUUU

The famous four colors of a rainbow: Blue, green, blue, and pink.

Here's the colors of an oil spill. If you wouldn't call something like this rainbow-colored just cuz it's missing a lot of colors, you're gay. Like the rainbow. Gay

White light splits into all colors. They can also combine back into white light

I think Celestia is rainbow themed to imply she has ALL the best traits of the mane 6/EoH, combined. She's supposed to be the best of all of them, the ultimate mare of harmony. And the ONLY individual who has ever used the Elements all by herself, because she's the only one who strongly represents each Element simultaneously

>protective motherly instincts, honesty and humility like Applejack. also workaholic tendencies/wanting to handle all the burden so no one else has to
>Pinkie's love of festivity, sweets, making others smile, and having a bit of a playfully teasing side. she can indulge in spontaneous fun sometimes.
>rarity's fanciness and love of luxury, cleanliness, and beauty
>twilight's curiosity and perpensity for introverted bookish stuff
>fluttershy's compassion and soft (but strong) heart. her love of mother nature. her gentleness
>rainbow's instincts to protect others from grave danger, her don't-fuck-with-me attitude when the situation calls for it, a pinch of RD's fiery nature.....and of course her RAINBOW mane

Celestia has it all. She is the ultimate mare.

Sunpilled post. I've been reflecting on this exact same idea a lot when I've been thinking about her character. Within the framework of the (earlier) show, which is all about strength of character and the cast's ability to embody their virtue under pressure, she's on another level entirely.

>Rainbows = harmony, peace, and hope
Wrong, it's none of this stuff. Rainbows are for things unraveled. You pop the hood (analysis, replication fork, the prism dividing, rainbow mode ON), you fix your junk (working on rainbow), you close the hood (synthesis, the prism collecting, rainbow mode OFF). I'll let you have a weaker secondary symbolism for hope if you think of a rainbow as of something that you see after an unpleasant rain is over, but peace and harmony? Nah, you're making it up.
>DEFINITELY NOT intentionally designed to resemble a phenomenon that (in cartoons) is always associated with COLD, POLAR REGIONS AT NIGHTTIME
It's their entire founding myth. Equestria is naturally is a COLD SHITTY (AND MAYBE POLAR TOO I WOULDN"T KNOW) PLACE where they used to FREEZE THEIR ASSES OFF until they GOT THEIR SHIT TOGETHER and WARMED IT UP. And they got themselves an alicorn or two at about the same time, so it checks out.

That being said, her haid is not aurora, obviously. It's airglow. The pink band should be somewhat more orange to fit sodium lines.

>a group of all the colors in organized sequence, flowing from one to the next harmoniously
>the Elements fire rainbows as an attack
>nah guys rainbows aren't the most obvious clear-cut symbol for harmony on the fucking planet
