The color of Dorothy Gale's shoes in the 1900 book version of The Wizard of Oz is silver. Those who were involved in the making of the 1939 film version found the silver color to look washed out in comparison to all the riotous colors of the Technicolor production. And so they opted for the red color of Ruby Slippers.
The ultimate source on the color of Dorothy Gale's shoes is author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919]. In his original, 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz', he had Dorothy dressed in two different colors in terms of shoes. First there were the shoes that she wore in the Kansas sequences of her life. Those shoes were dark in color, much worn in look. Second were the shoes that were given to her upon the accidental homicide of the Wicked Witch of the East. Those shoes were comfortable, gorgeous slippers silver in color, magical in nature.
