I’m not sure. I was just chiming in, since I noticed the color pattern and found it nifty.

@Trilby Pony  

 
Yeah, are we really debating a kite?

@Background Pony #5A63  
He was my brother.

@Minus  
Contrariwise, if we look at the colors going clockwise, starting at the Red and counting the light yellow that admittedly isn’t part of the design of the kite, itself, we get the ROY G B aspects of a rainbow’s ROY G BIV. But, personally, I think that a kite is sometimes just a kite.

@Background Pony #5A63  
I’m seeing a 66% similarity only. The tail is a light yellow that really doesn’t seem to be part of the main design. A 66% match in colour only is nowhere near enough to call it a rainbow kite. Not that we need maths to work this out. It just does not look like a rainbow at all.
 
If we use the old original 7-colour rainbow, we then get a measly 57%. But that’s dumb so I’m not doing that.

@Background Pony #5A63  
Superficially yes it is a rainbow, a collection of colors in a set. Celestia’s and cadences hair are technically rainbows too. But they are not the same as a real proper rainbow and neither is this. This is not a rainbow pattern and in a show that has used bright and contrasting colors including proper rainbow patterns in so many things and designs, to call this kite with its design separating the colors which seem more designed to clash each other than form a set, a rainbow is just something that seems really silly.
 
I feel if Hasbro really wanted to make a rainbow Kite they would have made it an actual rainbow kite. To say close enough is to say that it should be interpreted as a proper rainbow which it is not and never can be.

 
Yay America!

“Well the French and the American flag have a 100% color match…which by the logic of “close enough”(which I still think is pulling at straws) are the same thing.”  
False analogy. Flags have specific designs that go beyond the choice of colour; Here, we are talking strictly about two sets of colours that have an 84% similarity among their elements.
 
“What I’m saying is that if the show wanted them to have a rainbow kite it would have given them a real rainbow pattern as they’ve put the pattern on so many other thing in the show, some generic kite pattern does not equal a rainbow no matter close enough you think it is.”  
And I can just as easily say that if they intended it to be a generic kite, they would have given it generic, single colour design, as they have done before on the show, (>>1041768), rather than giving it rainbow colours. What’s your point?

@Darth Prime  
Barrow-wight.

I bet that kite is some kind of spy tool.
 
Also do you know what kite rhymes with?

Let’s go fly a kite  
Up to the highest height!  
Let’s go fly a kite  
And send it soaring!  
Up through the atmosphere!  
Up where the air is clear!  
Oh, let’s go fly a kite!

@F07E  
Did you typically fly it with your incredibly close, same-gendered friend?

@Background Pony #5A63  
84 percent huh close huh….becuse of colors. Well the French and the American flag have a 100% color match…which by the logic of “close enough”(which I still think is pulling at straws) are the exact same thing. What I’m saying is that if the show wanted them to have a rainbow kite it would have given them a real rainbow pattern as they’ve put the pattern on so many other thing in the show, some generic kite pattern does not equal a rainbow no matter close enough you think it is.

I owned a kite like that once, People always stared.

@Antonyourknee  
84% = Not even close.

@Background Pony #5A63  
If it was meant to be a rainbow kite it would be organized in a real rainbow pattern,this shows has put tons of rainbows patterns on things. You say close enough, I say not even close.

@Background Pony #5A63  

 
 
Yeah, just like how this chimpanzee is pretty close to human, so he’s pretty much a person

Upgrade to Microsoft Kite 10: Slightly fewer crashes than Charlie Brown’s kite.

Rainbow = red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.  
Kite = red, orange, yellow, green, blue.  
Pretty damn close to a rainbow kite, if you ask me.

Why are people calling the kite a rainbow,it’s colors don’t event contrast that much. Red-orange…blue -green. A real rainbow would have more than five colors including the tail.

I wouldn’t really call that a rainbow….
 
@Antonyourknee  

 
There we go.

Rainbow kite… Oh my God.

Just look at how heterosexually they’re enjoying that kite.

@Background Pony #5A63  
That kites hardly a rainbow,more like a Microsoft logo.

Wait, this was in the episode?
