Ok, I think I missed the genesis of whole rainbows and ponies meme. Someone mind clueing me in?

I seem to recall first hearing it connected with Django somehow, but I figured it was a reference to something I didn't get...

There are various pony memes, including a Django one, but in this case I believe they're just trying to exemplify openness by using a picture of a toy that lets you complete the design yourself:

Also, I don't think it's rainbows, just colorful hair.
