Pure Boo and Evil Boo (all absorptions) have red eyes. Fat/Mr. Boo has white eyeballs with very tiny irises.

Looks like they didn't color in Butta's battle jacket. The kanzenban also forgot this detail, but the kanzenban also gave Vegeta a darker battle jacket for one panel that the Full Color manga fixed.

Persons*. More than one gave a GREAT reason.
"Any persons"? Really?

Jeez, how dares anyone to have a different opinion than yours, eh?
There's no implication whatsoever that Pure Evil Boo's skin color is any different, so at best you could say that "even though all Boo forms that appeared in full color pages had the same color, and Pure Evil Boo didn't seem to be any different in limited color palette, they can color him however they want because Toriyama never colored him using the full color palette". But do you honestly believe that to be a completely fine thing to do, and that it doesn't derive from what Toriyama originally intended?

Did Toriyama color the Daizenshuu?

Sure. But the only official author color for that version of Buu is on a limited color scheme that probably couldn't even have been made with any kind of subtle color differences because of the limited colors. In fact, Fat Buu appears in full color in other pieces by Toriyama and his pink is very significantly different and lighter than the pink used for all Buus in that picture.

Meanwhile, the anime, the only other place where that Buu appears in color, chose to make him gray to make the fact, that his theme is to be the opposite of Good Buu, even more apparent.

And what about this full color manga? What was their choice? They made him pink, like he probably was meant to be, but they thought that the idea of making him look the opposite of good Buu even in his color was a good idea, so they gave him a even lighter pink, a more sickly pink.

What is wrong with that? Seems like the perfect decision to me. Complaining about that seems rather pointless. And telling people to don't try to justify it, when it actually seems like the perfect decision, seems worse than pointless.

While I would prefer him to be like the others, I'm extremely pleased that they didn't just use the anime colors, and I like that even different, it's still pink.

Doesn't mean they have to go and color Pure Evil Boo differently, because Toriyama never suggested that he should be of different color.

What's your point? I'm not claiming that if something is of the same color in the limited color palette, the same applies to full color palette. I'm saying that there doesn't appear to be any effort made by Toriyama to distinct Pure Evil Boo's color from the rest of Boo forms. There's no reason whatsoever to think that his color would be different.
rereboy wrote:Meanwhile, the anime, the only other place where that Buu appears in color, chose to make him gray to make the fact, that his theme is to be the opposite of Good Buu, even more apparent.
That's their decision, not Toriyama's.

It's only wrong if they seek accuracy, because, again, there's no reason to think that Pure Evil Boo's color was supposed to be different.

There's very little reason to say that he MUST be EXACTLY the same shade of pink either... :wtf:. A single limited colors image from a author that doesn't even typically go out of his way to keep all of his color schemes consistent is probably the flimsiest evidence I could think up to support a "true color" argument.

Anyway, I'm not even saying that your opinion is not the one that has more support, I was simply saying that your comment was completely disproportionate to the situation since I didn't even see any posts saying that Gray Buu shouldn't be pink. I think everyone pretty much shared that opinion. But some people, like me, happen to think that a lighter shade of pink, one more sickly, seems to be the best decision because it keeps him pink, while still making him look even more like the opposite of good Buu, which is his whole theme.

Being inflexible about it just seems too fanboyish, frankly. The whole point about my statements in my previous post, since you asked, is pretty much to make you realize the pointless exercise of being inflexible regarding something that has pretty much the flimsiest support that I can think of, even though there's nothing in the manga or in the guides suggesting that he should have a different color.

What about the fact that the other forms of Boo have the very same color (referring to full color palette)? Surely the only conclusion is that Pure Evil Boo shouldn't be any different, unless suggested otherwise.

By that logic, everything that is red in this picture must be yellow.

No other Buu was designed to be, physically, the opposite of another Buu.

Add to that the fact that the author never colored him in full color and that the only time he colored him was in a limited color image where the pink of the Buus looks closer to red than classic pink, and I don't why we should have any problems with him being colored in a lighter, sickly pink than Good Buu.

Physically the opposite of another Boo? What does that even mean? The evil side of Boo simply grabbed some of Fat Boo's body and most of his power.

One is fat, one is skinny, one is goofy and fun looking, the other is terrifying, ... Do I need to go on? You just have to look at them, even without knowing anything about them and you would notice that they are pretty much opposites in design. Color is part of the design. Therefore being a lighter pink a more sickly tone, is coherent with his design theme.

Then Evil Boo and Pure Boo are also the opposites of Fat Boo. Yet they're of the same color.

OK, I had missed one line, but I got your point now.

What you are saying is that because Toriyama never bothered to show that Pure Evil Boo has a different color than the other Boos, and because he had the same colors in a limited color palette, he shouldn't be any different from the others, so the colored manga is inaccurate in this case, right? But the colored manga gave Pure Evil Boo & Good Boo very similar colors, which can't be shown in black & white or limited color palette. And since Toriyama said that he just colors the characters as he feels like (and we have inaccuracies in the original manga colors, like the multiple colors of Karin), and he has implied that he doesn't even care for the colors, since he said that he doesn't even bother to check how he colored a character before (hence the multiple colors of Karin, etc).

Why are they opposites? They just aren't fat. Evil Buu is supposed to be a sort of fusion between Good Buu and Gray Buu, with Gray Buu being the most dominant force. And that's what he looks like. He isn't either skinny or fat, he has a normal or even a muscular body instead, which seems to be the balance between fat and skinny. Also, his clothes change and aren't the same clothes shared by Good Buu and Gray Buu, marking his difference from both of them. And Pure Boo just looks like a chibi version of Super Buu. So again I ask, why are they opposites of Fat Buu?

Grey Buu was meant to be the opposite of pretty much everything Good Buu is. He is the evil half of Fat Buu while the other is the good half. This is clearly reflected in his design that clearly shows that, despite still being identifiable as a Buu, he is skinny while the other is fat, menacing while the other is fun looking, he has a long face and hard features while the other has round and soft features, deadly serious (he doesn't even speak at all and pretty much doesn't seem to show any emotion) while the other almost never is serious and shows plenty of emotions in a varied range, etc.

Seriously, don't argue just for the sake of an argument...

Well, Evil Boo's skin color isn't a combination of Fat and Pure Evil Boos' colors, he has the "default" color. So I have yet to see how most Boo forms have the same color and it's completely fine for a third party to give Boo another color.
