Original Description:

While I like how this came out the changes are far more subtle than I liked. Given Lemon’s skin tone a recolor using a few different methods just made her look like she spent too long in the tanning bed and was burned. This is likely why some characters (Big Mac, Luna) were not exact color copies of their pony counterparts. None of them are a 1:1, they all have subtle tone differences even Rarity who is mostly white. That said, it was still enjoyable to experiment with the results. At one point I turned her garments pink and thought of keeping it, but switched back to the original because the green adds more contrast.
