Due to the fact that the Canadian station Treehouse appears set to air Season 7 two episodes a weekend from now to July, we won't be able to accurately color-key new characters for several weeks after they air, since we base our colors on the iTunes release to stay consistent, and these are not released until after the episode airs on Discovery Family, which is running at a much slower schedule. We know our members want to vector scenes from new episodes quickly and while the Treehouse broadcasts are sufficient for accurate tracing, they will not be good enough for colors.
We have decided that due to this, we will not accept show-accurate vectors of new, plot-critical characters, key objects, and backgrounds until after we can provide the color-key for them or assure artists have a good color reference to work from. The iTunes episode is usually available on Sunday following the Discovery Family broadcast, and we can turn color-keys around for most characters quickly once we've verified the color quality of the iTunes release. However, until that point, we rather not accept such vectors than accept them and then hope or request editors go back and fix them.
This does not apply to vectors of any characters already color-keyed (like the Mane 6), nor single-use props or costumes (such as Pinkie's pizza outfit from "Rock Solid Friendship") nor background ponies that are unnamed. This also only applies to show traces of these characters or groups with these characters; original style vectors, comics, crossovers, animations, etc. where the re-use potential is low, we will accept without worrying too much about the color-key, though we might ask for fixes here if the colors are way off, which all depends on the video source.
To help, we will try to make sure that the characters that we plan to color-key based on the Treehouse showing, and thus those we won't accept will be listed on the appropriate episode page over at our external website, mlpvc-rr.ml/episodes/1 You are also free to request any character color keys in the "#support" or "#spoiler" Discord channel. (See discord.mlpvector.club/ )
We do apologize for this, but we feel this is the best approach to avoid having artists redo their vectors due to color key changes. You are free to continue to reserve and prep and even publish such vectors, since both Inkscape and Illustrator have ways to use global swatches to make color updates easier once the guide is out.

Changes to our Color Guide (April Fools)
Hello everyone,
As you all are hopefully aware, here at the MLP Vector Club we strive to provide helpful resources to the pony community at large. Our gallery of high quality vector assets is quite possibly the largest in the fandom, and we have all of our members to thank for their enthusiasm and commitment to creating quality pony vectors. A few years ago we've launched our color guide website, and we're really happy to see that it has proven to be a useful tool to both vector and non-vector artists alike.
In line with our efforts to keeping the guide up to date and accurate we have come to the decision to update our naming convention to
Call for Collaboration
We're still alive, and we don't want any of you gone, unlike some weird robot. Anyways, we've been thinking about doing another group-wide background vector collaboration, where all members could apply to take part. For those unfamiliar with this process and the end result, the gist of it is that we decide on a background, which is then divided up into smaller pieces, and people can claim pieces to do themselves. These vectors are then assembled into the final vector of the background for everyone to marvel at. If you'd like to see an example, just have a look at this CMC clubhouse background which was done using this formula.
