What color is Cinderella\u2019s dress?<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re the average Disney fan who hasn\u2019t seen the movie for a while but walked by the merchandise in the Disney Store in the mall the other day, or remembers the princess from the parks, TV shows, etc, your answer will be\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Blue.

All Cinderella dolls wear a blue dress. The actors in the parks wear blue dresses.\u00a0 In the sequels and Disney Jr TV shows, her dress is blue.\u00a0 It\u2019s blue, right?<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/themagicalworldof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cinderelladoll.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Take a look at this clip from the actual movie.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cinderella Diamond Edition Dress Transformation Clip\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vpeNcFKo2gk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know about you, but that looks silver to me. Silver laced with magical fairy flecks. Like Fairy Dust Silver. You don\u2019t find that on the swatches too often.<\/p>\n<p>The argument could be made for a very light blue\u2026but it\u2019s a stretch. I will say that on the color scale it is definitely closer to silver than the sky blue you see on your niece\u2019s halloween costume.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/themagicalworldof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cinderellacostume.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.lovekidszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Girl-Cinderella-Costume-15.jpg<\/p>\n<p>Why does this bug me? Well, partially because I\u2019m a strange person. Partially because I don\u2019t understand why the Disney Merchandising Department got together and decided to change the color of Cinderella\u2019s dress and mess with the psyche of Disney viewers everywhere. But mostly because, well, the silver dress is way prettier. Look how it sparkles! This is a dress made by a fairy\u2019s magic and will certainly ensnare a handsome prince.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/themagicalworldof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cinderella-silver.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/images5.fanpop.com\/image\/polls\/909000\/909609_1324808826510_full.jpg<\/p>\n<p>This one\u2026.meh.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/themagicalworldof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/cinderellaprince-.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/fwallpapers.com\/files\/images\/cinderella-2.jpg<\/p>\n<p>So why the switcharoo? Did some doll designer just really like blue? Was there some big conspiratorial meeting in the halls of a studio in Burbank where they decided they wanted to pull one over on the public?<\/p>\n<p>I actually kind of want that to be true.<\/p>\n<p>But my guess is that the actual sparkly silver color of the dress is harder to replicate en masse than a simple solid color. White seems too\u2026well, wedding dress-y. Besides, that was her dress at the end when she marries the prince. Little girls want color. So they went with blue. And it\u2019s pretty, I like blue.<\/p>\n<p>But just once, I want Cinderella to come out of her castle in Orlando wearing that classic, sparkling silver dress. \u00a0I know it\u2019s probably hard to replicate, that dress is magical! But that\u2019s what you do, Disney. Make it happen.<\/p>\n<p>But they can\u2019t do that. Because then their cover would be blown. Wait\u2026her dress is silver!? What else haven\u2019t you told me!?<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s blow their cover for them. Spread the word, dear reader! That is my mission for you. Tell the world: Cinderella\u2019s dress is a lie!<\/p>\n<p>We can do this, people. We have the technology. Twitter, facebook, google+,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Oy-g0j8mdEI#t=1m39s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twilight Bark<\/a>, screaming in public places, we can tell everyone!<\/p>\n<p>Together, we can bring back the sparkly!<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/themagicalworldof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sparklydress.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/images5.fanpop.com\/image\/photos\/31500000\/Cinderella-classic-disney-31570332-500-664.png<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong>\u00a0Some of you have rightly pointed out on here and social media that the dress does look very blue in the scene where Cinderella is dancing with the prince \u00a0\u2014 thanks for all the comments, by the way! Love to hear from you all.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/themagicalworldof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/d4vbzpg-efcadb9f-6bcb-4aef-bcd5-9a966337e1a1.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But I have to counter that the prince\u2019s outfit is the same shade of blue here, as well. And his jacket is indisputably beige.<\/p>\n<p>Which would suggest that Cinderella\u2019s dress is only blue here because of the shadows.<\/p>\n<p>So let us stop fighting amongst ourselves! Let us\u00a0storm the castles of Aurora and Cinderella and take back the silver dress\u00a0that is\u00a0rightfully ours!<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/themagicalworldof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/for-narnia-and-for-sparkly-dresses.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.lovekidszone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Girl-Cinderella-Costume-15.jpg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PSA: The True Color of Cinderella\u2019s Dress Dear Reader, I have a mission for you.
