Question Eeyore Grey or Blue

I have a question that I keep wondering about. In all of the images of Eeyore that I saw while growing up, he always appeard light blue and lavender. However almost all of the Eeyore's at WDW are an unattractive color of Grey. Including the Characters at the Breakfasts and around the park. Anyone know why? Did the factory get the wrong color so they just used it?

I do know that the character Eeyore is based upon an actual stuffed animal that is actually Grey so I am guessing that this might be the reason. Any Eeyore trivia fans know the answer to this great mystery?

I believe he's supposed to be grey -- in A.A. Milne's work, he's known as the gloomy grey donkey or the "old grey donkey."

I've always considered him to be the color of a storm cloud.

He was originally grey in the books, so technically he is a grey donkey, although Disney do seem to like the blue look as well. Either way, I think he looks cute!

I must have missed that - and I'm thinking that maybe I'm glad I missed it. A PINK EEYORE - that's just not right!!!
