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.
The Quadlings are red in the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz'. They live in the South of Oz. Their favorite color is red, and that's the color of their country. Their ruler is Glinda the Good, who has red hair.

In the book, her slippers were silver, symbolizing the coinage of silver money.
In the movie, her slippers were of a ruby color. I think just to liven up the movie?

In his original, 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz', he had Dorothy dressed in two different colors in terms of shoes. First there were the shoes that she wore in the Kansas sequences of her life. Those shoes were dark in color, much worn in look. Second were the shoes that were given to her upon the accidental homicide of the Wicked Witch of the East. Those shoes were comfortable, gorgeous slippers silver in color, magical in nature.

Dorothy Gale is the character who clicks a pair of ruby slippers to get home in "The Wizard of Oz."The color of the shoes is ruby in the beloved 1939 film version. The original color is silver in the original 1900 book edition. But either way, clicking the shoes is the only way that Dorothy can leave the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz and get back home to Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in Kansas.
I believe they are in the smithsonian institute!

Silver is the color of the shoes in 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'. That's the title of the original book version by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919]. But the shoes aren't silver in the 1939 film, simply due to the fact that the producers wanted the slippers to stand out, so they were made Ruby.
