What color is Bart Simpson's T-shirt?

[brigden]

I recently argued with a friend over the color of Bart's T-shirt. He says the shirt is red, whereas I say it is orange. I've asked many others and the majority seem to think red is correct. They are wrong. Bart's shirt is orange.

To quote the Simpson's archieve:

Why is Bart's shirt sometimes orange and sometimes blue?

On the show, Bart's shirt is almost always orange. Yet, on most Simpsons merchandise and memorabilia, Bart's shirt is light blue in color. There are also products featuring Bart in a red shirt, though these seem to be less common.

The exact reason for this is not known. The most popular explanation is that it may be a trick used for picking out counterfeit or bootlegged merchandise.

Another possible explanation is that Bart's shirt color changed during the Tracey Ullman era. The very first batches of Simpsons merchandise were produced before the half-hour series even started, so the shirt color may have simply reflected this, with further merchandise being made to follow that original standard.

Here is a picture. There are many more on google.

What do you lot think?

Thats a trick question. The answer is all of them.

Bart's shirt is generally an reddish orange. But remember different societies have different definitions of where one color ends and another begins. Thus what some countries may call a blue others will still call it green (if it is somewhere inbetween).
