10 Simpsons Secrets You Never Knew
3. The Colour Of The Simpsons’ Skin Was Done To Attract Channel Surfers
One of the biggest mysteries that surrounds The Simpsons is why exactly does every character have yellow skin.
Although the animation has largely improved over the years and the character designs have evolved, the colour of the characters’ skin was always been yellow from the very beginning. And many fans have wondered why.
According to Groening, the reason for this was actually very simple - it was more attention-grabbing. It was done to attract audiences who were hopping between channels and unsure of what to watch, as they would be hooked by this odd element.
And, Groening was right - this design is definitely a lot more interesting than the boring, ordinary skin colour of shows, like American Dad or Family Guy, isn’t it.
