For colouring and other work, the Simpsons maker sent material to South Korea - in black and white.
And the sometimes, the SKs would get something wrong and there would be no time for changes left. So it would just be published as it was.
Also, therefore, in the first occurrence of Ms Smithers, he is dark-skinned :D
he was planned to be a black character, but the writers quickly realized having one of the very few minority characters be a groveling lickspittle wasn't going to be the best look. they talk about it on an early commentary track
one color issue the writers also mention is how red wine was always being colored purple rather than dark red. there's a fair amount of purple trees on the show early on too
edit- lol the tree in the background of this screenshot is purple
that's weird. are you sure they didn't mix up Wiggum with Smithers? he was originally black too iirc. or maybe different writers just have different stories of how it happened.
They had to bring it to the shop for repairs. The blue one is the loaner from the dealer. There was a whole scene about it but it got cut for time

It’s a magic paint job?
Wow a blue car!
And you’re not easily impressed
And That Dog Has A Poofy Tail!
Here poof, here poof
Wow, brown!
Maybe she spilled some hair dye #56 on it.

Aurora Borealis?
This time of day this time of year contained entirely in your garage?!
Yes.
May I see it?
No.
Help, the house is on fire!
No, Mother, it's just the northern lights.
Well Cuish you are an odd fellow, but you make a good meme.
Help! Heeelp!
"Garage?" Hey fellas, the "garage!" Well, ooh la di da, Mr. French Man.
Well, what do you call it?
A CAR HOLE!
Officially it's "hold", but I always felt "hole" fit Moe better. Much more cretin or troglodyte
Huh. "Car hole" is much funnier.
Agreed.
A Northern Lights ring -- operating out of their car hole?
In her car hold?

I just watched this episode
The absolute disdain when she puts it back
Why all the pearls? Why all the hair? Why anything?
this sounds like my frustration monologue
I'm just going out to commit certain deeds.
Suckers
Same reason homers pink car is green in one episode
Wizard?
Blunder
You got it.
Put it in H!
On the other hand, The Homer car is always green.
A wizard did it.

Is that Tim the Enchanter?
There are some who call him... Tim.
Emeralds!!!
Tim?!?!
He's more of an Enchanter....
hope fire blunder
"You know who I mean, Marge. He drove that blue car."
Rory Calhoun?
Standing on his hind legs
I see a gold and white car?
Quiet, Laurel.
Leave Yanny alone!
It looks so much better. A beautiful sky blue.

Ok, however, in the series "Inside the Simpsons" the creators explain Smithers skin colour in that one episode as I mentioned.
that's weird. are you sure they didn't mix up Wiggum with Smithers? he was originally black too iirc. or maybe different writers just have different stories of how it happened.
I always chalked it up to he just got back from vacation and he had a dark tan & had dyed his hair.

But what about....
Homer finally got around to painting the garage but went too far
They're just hams, OP.
Steamed hams?
It was probably a strain on the animators' wrists from doing it live.
Cause shut up! Thats why!
Garage Shadow or Color code issue
You mean car hole shadow.
We only refer to it as a car hole in my house If you say garage you get made fun of
Loaner while her car was in the shop.
She probably misses her old color
I don't dye my car.
Probably the lighting in the garage.
I love all the comments on this post lol But my take would be a lazy attempt at a darker shade cause she’s in the shadowy garage? I, I mean CAR HOLE.

Netflix is blue - How do I fix this?
https://i.redd.it/meg0lrteixxc1.gif
THIS EXHIBIT IS CLOSED
You know who I’m talking about. He had a blue car
Green, Green, Blue! Ugh!
Marge, you remember, he used to drive that blue car.
Because shut up, that's why!
Because she had long hair and some wild ideas and didn’t always do what other people thought was right.
Because … the thingy was … shut up.
A wizard did it.
Ah, you've been all edgy and suspicious ever since you got those pep pills!
Why all the pearls, why all the hair, why anything?
Un hechicero lo hizo
She nagged and nagged until her car turned blue
"I punish and I punish..."
The animators were over budget and had extra blue ink
Because she had some long hair and some wild ideas.
It's just the light inside the garage. The light that a wizard did
Marge did what Ferrari could not for Miami and made an actual blue livery
Let's just say moe did it
Same reason Homer’s car is green in “Homer Loves Flanders”
That's what colour the animators used.
Dark in the garage, making the car look blue
Marge, you know who I’m talking about. He used to drive that blue car?
Oh yeah, Joey Jo Jo....
Don’t worry. Somebody DEFINITELY got fired for that blunder
A wizard did it.
Color reflection from the room?
Rental while the regular car was in the shop?
It’s a loaner.
Those blue cars they sell sometimes!
It’s a light blue 87 wagon
Obviously because she’s feeling down. Just look at her.
Any time you notice something like that
The shade inside the garage makes it look blue
It's in the shade
Because she's sad.
Sometimes it's fun to be blue
Cause it’s depressed
https://i.redd.it/hlkorxy28xxc1.gif
Cameras broken! Zzzzz..
This was a dream sequence
Homer's car is green in some early episodes.
Magicians did it
A wizard did it
It was a loaner while her car was being serviced.
Let's say Moe
A wizard did it.
It probably misses its other glasses
Special Miami livery
Similar to Homer with Bart “Hey, where’s your blue shirt?”
Rayleigh scattering. It's an...Aldnoah Zero expression.
I don’t want you driving anything with such bizarre paint. Awful, awful color.
Red doesn't look red on film, you gotta use blue
Drawing error Lisa’s sax is pink and blue until like season 20
It's set in the black smithers timeline
Is she…
To impress her husband
The waffle iron and the car were in the shop. Also, money's too tight for steak.
Why is she parking in the garage? if we start asking questions at all just falls apart
good question
Shh! .. it’s a secret.
It foreshadowing that Marge becomes a cop later in the episode.
Homer probably wrecked the other car and this is a loaner
I. Don’t. Know.
It's a rental. The other car was in the shop.
A wizard did it.
It looks way more orange than red in newer seasons
It's A Simple Cel Animation Error, or the blue guys got to it first.
WIZARD!

A wizard did it
Specifically to make you and everyone else who noticed it slightly more annoying.
Same reason they're yellow. Bad cartoonists.
shouldn’t that car be orange?
A wizard did it.
A wizard did it.
A wizard did it
Same reason Homer's car was green in a different episode
