What color is Mutagen?

So if memory serves me right, in the 87 series Mutagen was a glowing purple/pink ooze. In the first movie, it was a translucent green color, while in the second movie it was a bright and vivid almost grass green. The Playmates figures had canisters of ooze that were sometimes green light-piping. I have no idea what it looked like in the 2k3 series.

Is there an official color for mutagen, or does it just change for ever depiction of TMNT?

Also, does anyone have any screen caps from the old show where mutagen is being used?

Mostly green. I think the only time it's purple is in the pilot of the FW series and the "Foot Ooze" toy. It was tutti-fruttie in Were-Rats, but in I think everything else, it's mostly green.

I'm gonna go with green, but it can appear to be a translucent pink in certain kinds of lighting.

And it changes colors in icy or warm water.

That's right, and it was also in a small beaker instead of the usual canister.

In the first two episodes it was purple which was what Turtles Forever based it on. Pretty much every appearance since then it was green although I suppose it could be a different kind of mutagen.

The big discrepancy is "Michaelangelo Meets Mondo Gecko" were they depicted the turtles being exposed to the mutagen completely differently to how it was shown in "Turtle Tracks" complete with green mutagen.

Yeah, but at least for that though, they had an excuse. *laughs at Rat King for not knowing how to make proper mutagen*

It's funny to see how many times the color was changed! I definitely like the green ooze best...followed by the RAINBOW! Hehe just kidding, followed by the purple.

Pink and green

Looks like the first mutagen was pink, while later seasons would go for green.

All the colors of the rainbow!

The yellow mutagen in Michelangelo's Birthday seems to be a variant that makes whoever gets sprayed blow up like Harry Potter's aunt. Yet Shredder apparently never bothered to keep the formula for what nearly defeated the turtles.

Maybe they could have done something where other colors of mutagen have different effects, like kryptonite.
