Is eeyore Grey or Blue?

[ArielRae]

Disney is supposed to be strict on keeping their characters the same a trademark they are. I have some disney pictures of eeyore. What are your thoughts? Is eeyore supposed to be grey or blue?

Dude is blue. Admittedly he's a gray shade of blue, but he's got some blue in him, which in my mind rules out gray (which is strictly a combo of black and white).

 

[BabyPiglet]

Hm. Interesting question. I've never noticed that before.

Classic Eeyore is grey - the newer Eeyore is blue.

Grey with a blue-ish tint

I see him as blue (greyish blue) -- thought it went with his mood....

 

[DiznEeyore]

In the books, movies, parks (character and WTP ride) and on most park merchandise, he is grey. In the books he is referred to as "the old grey donkey". In the newer Disney incarnations, he was inexplicably turned purple & blue. I still haven't figured that one out, but he's my favorite either way.

Grey with a blue-ish tint

Aha! That's precisely my point. Once you get a bluish tint, you cease being grey.

He was grey in all of the original movies and shorts. I believe that he's only blue in some (and not even all!) merchandise. Plus, DiznEeyore is right- they always referred to him as an "old grey donkey" in the books. IMO, the movies and books trump some merchandise, so he's grey.

Eeyore is as grey as the gloomy cloud that hangs over him.

 

[PrincessSuzanne]

He is gray and still one of my favorite characters

The old Eeyore plush we had years ago was definitely grey but a lot of the
new ones are more blue.I knew there was something different
about the new ones but I couldn't put my finger on it.

I never knew Eeyore was so much like a mood ring!!

I have to vote grey/blue.

Eeyore is neither blue nor grey. He's blue-grey which makes him unique!

Speaking of Eeyore, check out this guy I found on a bunny rescue site. If I didn't already have two bunnies of my own, I would have adopted him when he was available. Happily, he's found his forever home!

I was going to say blue-gray, but I agree with the longer answer that it depends on which Eeyore, old or new, merchandise or movie.

Eeyore is Grey and feels Blue

 

[ArielRae]

If I had to pick a color I like eeyore as grey rather then blue.

That's easy....he's "slate"
