Okay, this may sound dumb to simpson fanatics but does anyone know why there always yellow? its weird i reckon..

i read in a site that Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons) decided to make The Simpsons yellow because it was different, bright and "it looks like there's something wrong with your television set." well that answers that!

maybe they.............GOT A REALLY BAD SUNTAN.I MEAN LIKE SOOOOO BAD THAT IT MADE EM' YELLOW!

Matt Groening has stated that he has always hated the Caucasian pink color given to human cartoon characters, such as on the Flintstones. Someone at the production studio for the original Tracey Ullman shorts (whose name Groening could not recall in the DVD commentary this answer is based on) suggested they make the characters yellow instead.

Maybe so that people flipping through channels will see it and start watching.

no one knows ._.

i have no idea

well u do have a point............

To make the show and characters stand out.

It's so weird. Metallica and Green Day were on there even they were yellow.

Maybe just to be different from other cartoons....

I think it's to catch people's attention when their channel surfing.

It's a unique, eyecatching technique and it drives ur attenton to the screen! :)

Radiation from the power plant. Look at Blinky (three eyed fish).

I think they are yellow just bcozit stands out and looks good...i mean imagine the simpsons like green or blue or red it wouldnt be the same would it???

Well, I think that yellow in general is a color that makes you happy, according to reasearch.

Apart from that, yellow is the closest color to human skin. If you were to color ppl one color (of the primary colors or the 12 normal colors) what would u have colored?
(honestly, I would have colored it orange) Most ppl will color ppl's skin as yellow. (this is true. when i was in kindergarten, everyone colored ppl yellow, except me, who colored them orange) lol
