So the July Celestial raffle is woefully lacking in unique mane colors, which results in plenty of bright blue and pink lionesses w/ brown, yellow, or gray mane colors. Well, now that the raffle has 11 bases and counting, it's about time they added all base colors that don't have their own mane color as BO mane colors only acquired from the July Celestial Raffle!

The colors that don't have their own mane colors and should be raffle BOs:
- Sunset
- Sunrise rip you would've been a nice RL mane color
- Stratosphere

- Leonid

- Prismatic

- Dawn

- Jellyfish

- Ambrosia


"But Celestial, Sidereal, & Skyward manes already exist as apps!"
They need to be BO because the Celestial Raffle needs its own BO mane colors, and the BO mane color pool in general is much smaller than the lake of app colors. No more Prismatic lionesses w/ Walnut manes, please!

"What if they look too similar to other mane colors, especially Dawn/every light pink mane color, Sunrise/Blazing, Sunset/Haunted, & Stratosphere/Frostbitten?"
Dawn can be differentiated from say, Orchid or Azalea, with a lavender gradient at the back, Sunrise has the opposite pattern to Blazing, Sunset would be more saturated and purplish than Haunted, and Stratosphere would be paler and bluer than Frostbitten. The rest of the colors would be unique enough to be worth adding as mane colors.

"July has more BO than applicator colors in general. Do we really need more?"
People have been asking for more BO stuff for ages, and the Celestial raffle has no unique mane colors since all the July manes are apps.

"Is this even necessary? Mane colors aren't worth much and the raffle lions are all female anyway."
Raffle lions can have male cubs & they can be cloned for crowning, plus dedicated BO breeders would appreciate an extra BO trait to breed for (all those Dawn breeders would be happy to have a BO Dawn mane)
Also a lot of July raffle bases are saturated and have few BO mane colors that look good with them
We do not need another bright blue/purple mane app, but we do need more bright blue/purple bo. Think of the RL designs. Think of the breeding projects.

Feel free to comment. No mockups for now since it's a lot and colorpicking is a bitch, but if enough of you request it, I might make some pictures.
