I dunno, the black and white seems more of a result of the outcome of her turning into a deity/planeswalker and of taking the concept to it’s extreme of abundance and excess with the power to make it so. If you look at baseline Pinkie, all I’m seeing is pure red. B/W would imply a deeper goal, belonging and purpose in life, but as we’ve been shown time and time again, that’s not anywhere near a priority for her. She makes ponies happy and will do anything for it.
As a planeswalker though… yeah, I can definitely see there being multiple versions of her. Their colors tend to shift based on their mental state at the time of an expansion anyways.

I thought it was because she’s fundamentally a hedonist, whose perpetually chasing her next high. It just happens that her drug is other peoples joy.

I’ve pegged Pinkie as Mardu before “Mardu” was even a term. For her, the black is about her methods—anything goes, not just what others consider impolite but also what they consider impossible—her unintentional tendency to damage the sanity of those around her, and her tendency towards hedonistic excess.

I get white and red, but why black other than those last two abilities? She’d make more sense just being red-white, or (with that first ability) red-white-green.

That’s the reason for the whole color combination in a nutshell. Very succinct. Well done!

I’d peg her as part black simply because of Pinkamena. That aspect of her is quite dark.

The red, white, and black mix together to form pink. Obviously. ;)

Shiggy dignity.
That’s fair.
