His shade of Blue is verging on Purple, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Either 1/3 of respondents are also colour blind, or it's some kind of ManHuffer effect. ;) :pQuote:

Blue? Purple?
That colour was lifted directly from this photo of Huffer. Here is a comparison of Huffer and his blue next to Hook and his purple.

Oh, I've never seen his G1 toy. That is clearly blue. However, his cartoon appearance is close enough to purple I wouldn't care if someone said he is purple.Quote:

I think it's one of those visual trickery things like the gold dress.
To be clear: I accept he is blue, I'm NOT arguing otherwise. Especially after seeing Gok isolate the colour like that.
However, some people like myself may THINK we're seeing purple because of other colours on his deco? I don't know.
The Marvel Comics was the first to recolour Huffer as purple, then the Sunbow cartoon followed suit. Other G1 media portrayed Huffer as blue like the toy though.

I cannot think of any G1 Autobots with purple. Hasbro seemed to have reserved that as an "Evil" Decepticon colour. Even now there are very few Autobots with purple; Impactor, Alpha Trion and Nautica are outliers, and none of them ever existed as toys in the 20th Century. There are also not many Decepticons in white, again with Glit being an outlier. And even Shattered Glass still assigns purple to "Evil" Autobots and white to "Heroic" Decepticons.
P.S.: Sunbow-Rumble is chiefly purple while Non-Sunbow-Frenzy is chiefly navy blue. Sunbow-Reflector is also purple, while Viewfinder is navy blue.
Data-point - the early UK comics (when they showed him at all, or when they weren't black and white...) used the toys as a reference, and made Huffer a nice deep blue.
Carry on :)
Yeah, Marvel UK were often more toy-accurate with their colours compared to Marvel USA. ;)Quote:
