Is the famous elephant supposed to be Blue or Purple?

1. It has been blue for a long time. I remember it from my childhood. They changed it recently or it is a fake picture cant really tell

2. It’s blue as it works well with the orange of the mouse, [according to its creator](https://www1.wdr.de/radio/wdr2/themen/frag-doch-mal-die-maus/warum-ist-der-kleine-elefant-blau-100.html#:~:text=Das%20Blau%20liegt%20im%20Farbkreis,Deswegen%20ist%20der%20Elefant%20blau.)

3. I guess some of the pictures you find just look a little more magenta on your phone screen. I’m a photographer and I go crazy when I think about icc profiles for too long lol. A picture will look amazing on my calibrated screen and my customer will look at it with a shitty 2019 smartphone ughh

4. blue of course

5. Blurple

6. Yes

7. What do you mean? It’s clearly gold

8. Blue, the lyric says:

   …

   er ist Blau

   Er ist schlau

   …

9. All the song texts in the show refer to him as “blue”, but I agree that this particular shade of blue is technically more purple than blue. It has been like this for decades.

   I love it. Both the elephant and the “blurble” colour.
