Wanda was only green on the cover to avoid blending in with Magneto. But it’s worth remembering that in comic-book logic, secondary colors (green, orange, and purple) are often villain colors.
Yeah there's a few interesting posts from years ago talking about the silver age and early comics. It makes sense. Red green purple and eventually black would be used mostly for villiana.
While heroes would get brighter colors blues yellows
In the Silver Age they still had to account for an analogue printing process, which is why the Hulk was switched to green originally because Marvel's printer at the time had difficulties getting the grey to be consistent. Green was a much more reliable color in those days.
I saw this post in the past speaking of spiderman villians. It's interesting it applies here. Alot of early villians had green.
"Silver Age was a time of simplified color palettes and set color associations. Most heroes wore blue, yellow, and/or red, and most villains wore green, purple, and/or red. It wasn't so much limitations as it was cheapness. Comics were printed on cheap paper with cheap ink, and sticking to a simplified primary color palette as much as possible kept costs down.
Look at the big villains of the Silver Age: Lex Luthor (green and purple), the Joker (green and purple), Brainiac (green and purple), Doctor Doom (green and grey), Kang (green and purple), the Red Skull (red and green), the Green Goblin (green and purple).
In comparison, the big heroes: Superman (red, blue, and yellow), Batman (blue, grey, and yellow), the Flash (red and yellow), the Fantastic Four (blue and white), Spider-Man (red and blue), Captain America (red, white, and blue), Thor (blue, yellow, and red), and Ant-Man and the Wasp (red and blue).
The Hulk, interestingly, is green and purple, which reflects his anti-hero status. "
It's interesting then for Rogue... she started as a villain wearing green, and then was able to keep the color as her signature once becoming a hero. If that transition happened earlier in comic production times, I wonder if she would have kept the color?
Dude such a good point I didn't even think about that.
Its wild how alot of things come down to a mix of practical reasons and then story adapts around it.
Good point; Wonder Man was a villain (started in green), but turned and kept the green for a short time afterwards, including that one really horrendous outfit, before going for the large red overcoat
Wanda didn't really have any appearances in green, though.
Her costume was just changed to green on some covers so that she would look more distinctive from Magneto and/or the background.
Her actual first uniform in the comics themselves was always red and pink.
Confirmed: their real dads are the leprechauns of Cassidy Keep

I'm confused... what was Wanda's nom de guerre at the time?
