It's possible that another color was considered, what with the filming of the movie version of The Wizard of Oz in Technicolor. But that would have really changed things, from the original storyline in the book. For Dorothy had only two dresses, of which one was the gingham with blue and white checks that so impressed the Munchkins, her first contacts in the magical world of Oz. For blue was the color of Munchkinland. And, deliberate or not, the choice of colors - blue and white in the dress, red in the slippers - gave Dorothy a patriotic look in the 1939 film version.

∙ 14y agoNo, Dorothy Gale didn't have red shoes in the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' by Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919]. Instead, Dorothy wore a pair of dark, laced up, sturdy leather walking shoes in Kansas. But soon after landing over the rainbow in the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz, she switched over to wearing the Silver Slippers of the dead Wicked Witch of the East. So it was only with the beloved 1939 film version that Dorothy's magic slippers became ruby red.
