User blog:Nyxity/Manny Taur & The Color Red

The recent Webisode "I Only Have Eye for You" seems to stir a lot of question about Manny Taur and the color red. Some may have even noticed the irony back in

So, why does he wear red when he claims to hate it so much? He wears red, his best friends wear red, lots of characters in the show wear red.

“Why take it so seriously? It is a joke.”

Yeah, I know... but certainly the creators noticed the irony, which might add tot he joke even more... but...

Since the whole thing plays on bulls charging at the color red, I wonder if Manny has the color blindness that specifically targets the spectrum of red or green. If that is the case he'd only really see hues of blues, yellows and greens that are very olive-toned.

Maybe when he says red, he isn't exactly referring to the color. Maybe the things he tends to charge at that are the color red happen to be things he simply associates the term red to. When people think of a lobster, they think of them a bright red after being cooked. When people think of devils they think red. Vampire cape? Red – or black... The red textbook? Maybe it was a subject in school he didn't like?

Anyone else have theories as to why Manny hates and yet seems to also love red?

I have a more simpler one, that still sort of plays on perception, but has nothing to do with color blindness, but other than that...
