The colours on the turtles masks origin?
 

I always wondered what's the origin for each of turtles decition on colour of there masks? Was it there decition or was it Splinter? Was it choosen after favorite colour and/or personality? I guess it was never revealed! But if any of you got an idea or theory about this, i would strongly preciate if you would share it:)

There is an Archie issue that mentions the change from all red to colors, but I don't think it ever says why the colors blue, orange, and purple were picked.

hmm...:ohwell:

Someone on a previous post here last year explained that the Turtles mask colors matched the chakras they represented best. Whether P and K thought of that, or simply put colors they thought each Turtle may like due to their personalities, I do not know. But I think each mask color is a good match for each Turtle.

could you post the link in this thread?

Hope this helps.

Thanks;) i really apriciated this!

They were all red in the comics until the 87 series. The real reason they used different colors for this cartoon was to tell the turtles apart (as if weapons and a letter on the belt weren't already enough).

The movie was really only made because of the popularity of the 87 cartoon series and so the multicolored bandanas were maintained.

In the 2k3 series, the Ancient one selected bandana colors for the turtles when they were very young tots. He presented them as a gift to splinter.

Is this event appearing in a episode from season 5? cause i've only seen the first 4 seasons of the 2k3 series! thanks for the infos btw:D

season five - "Father's and Sons"

Thanks! i can remember reading about the episode in wikipedia

Don't watch it. Trust me.

Well I love that episode. It's cute.

Exactly it's a cutsy fan girl episode and not a MAN'S EPISODE!!!!

*grunts and spits*

^ :lol:

I haven't seen it yet, but I have seen the odd screenshot of little Turtles with buck teeth, which is oh so wrong. X| Too bad, because usually I like seeing the little guys.

:lol: Damn right.

There are worse eps. I think everyone should see it. If nothing else, to complete the series. We should all see every episode, even the bad ones. Just my two cents.

I gotta stick with Neutrino! when i watch the ot series in chronological order i watch all the bad onces to, to get it in context! so im gonna do the same with 2k3!

In the case of inside the show, I would say that the turtles choose their own colors if for no other reason then for some individuality. Because I don't see Splinter picking such bright attention drawing colors for the turtles, it just seems impractical considering they are supposed to be stealthy, I wonder why Splinter even allowed it, and enforce a darker color scheme to their mask?

Is that change in the story of the comic? Meaning it implies that they once wore all red in the Archie universe?
