The Ruby Slippers were worn first by the Wicked Witch of the East and then by Dorothy Gale, in the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz. In the original book, and in the 1902/1903 stage version, by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], the shoes are Silver Slippers. But those involved in the making of the film found the silver to wash out in comparison to the riotous colors in their Technicolor production. And so red was the color of choice.
In "The Wizard of Oz," the Munchkins' favorite color is blue. This is why their houses and clothing are predominantly blue in the movie.
