What color were Dorothy's shoes in the film 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Answer 1

Red. In the 1939 film version, Dorothy Gale wore the Ruby Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East. In the original book published in 1900, the Slippers were Silver. But those involved in making the film found the silver to look washed out in comparison to all the riotous colors of the Technicolor production. And so they opted for a color that in fact ended up giving Dorothy somewhat of a patriotic appearance with her blue and white dress, and her red shoes.

Answer 2

In the book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], the Wicked Witch of the East was killed while wearing Silver Slippers. That was also the color of the shoes in the 1902/1903 stage version that Baum similarly authored. In the posthumous 1939 film version of the book, the shoes were Ruby Slippers. For those involved in the movie's production found the silver to be washed out in comparison to the riotous colors of their Technicolor production.
