Vegeta Color Change

The first few episodes of the anime that depicted Vegeta were animated prior to his first colored appearance within the manga, and Toriyama had yet to give Toei Animation the color schemes for either him or Nappa. Toei Animation's recent Vegeta anniversary post reminds old school Dragon Ball Z fans that the iconic Saiyan prince once had a much different look. Toei gave Vegeta the wrong colors in his first appearance of Dragon Ball Z! They corrected it when he got to Earth, but what if they stuck to their guns and he transformed into his Oozaru Great.

@kiera1200 commented, "They had to go for the worst color palette in the beginning" @missedthebandwagon976 commented, "That alternate universe where Vegeta keeps these colors and Bulma dumps him on the spot." @dizzydial8081 commented, "It looks like this was a common problem. Hunter X Hunter had similar issues with Hisoka.". Vegeta Color Palette This Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z Series has Black, Blue, Brown, Gray, Skin & Yellow Colors.

The manga always specifies whenever there's a color change for somebody's hair, even when it doesn't have to. So if Vegeta's hair is a different color Granolah, or somebody else, will state so next chapter (Aug. 18).

I am wondering, is Vegeta's colour change a result of his design changing mid series? or is there a reason why everything but his scouter changes colour when he arrives on Earth? Yes, if you watched the original Z (and not Kai), Vegeta always had this color scheme. This was the color palette that Vegeta (and Nappa, as his armor isn't quite the same color as it was depicted with when they reached Earth) were originally depicted when first shown, as those first episodes were animated prior to the first full.

However, in the anime's early days, Vegeta's color scheme was almost completely different, having light brown hair, a dark blue suit with a green and orange set of armor. This was due to a coloring mistake since before that time, Vegeta was only known to be in black and white. King Vegeta's hair colour has been the subject of some debate among fans of the Dragon Ball franchise.

While it is generally accepted that pure Saiyans have black hair, King Vegeta is usually depicted with brown hair, with some artworks also portraying his hair as black with grey lighting. This inconsistency in hair colour can be attributed to early anime production decisions, as the animators.
