Why are the Simpsons yellow?!
Question: Why are the Simpsons yellow!?
Answers:
I recall an interview with Matt Groening in which he explained that he was unsure of the color intially, and yellow was suggested!.
ETA: Here's an piece of the interview:
"Yellow wasn't my choice!. You initially work in black and white, and one of the animators suggested that we colour them yellow, and it looked right!. Then again, she also made the trees purple, which we didn't go for!. It means the Simpsons look like no other cartoon characters, though!. I don't like that skin colour they use in cartoons!. I loved Mickey Mouse when he had a white face, not the strange pink Caucasian colour he is now!."Www@Enter-QA@Com
