Trivia[]
- Red, Vermilion, Orange, Marigold, Yellow, Chartreuse, Green, Aquamarine, Blue, Purple, Violet, Magenta, Fifi, Sidetable Drawer and Mailbox do not appear at the end of the episode because they were very busy.
- Just like the previous episode, Nicole is the only Block relative credited as a friend of Joe. In addition, Danielle and Jennifer Brown, relatives of Content Consultant Laura G. Brown, Ph.D.(not this episode), Jack Hoffman, a relative of the voice of Paprika, Corrine Hoffman, and Taylor Mitchell, a relative of Assistant Editor Frank Mitchell, are also Joe's Friends.
- This episode can be seen on the Shapes and Colors! VHS and DVD with 2 bonus episodes from Arts and Crafts.
- This is Joe’s version of Adventures in Art.
- This episode also appeared on the compilation DVD titled Nickelodeon Let's Learn Colors.
- This is the only episode where Joe changes his shirt multiple times. (In this case, four)
- The first was when Joe changed into an orange shirt after singing how to play Blue's Clues in the demo version. The second was when Joe was in a yellow shirt at the end of the video letter after Mailtime. Finally, Joe had a red shirt on before drawing the third clue after skidooing back home.
- In this episode, Joe starts with his green shirt, then Joe switches to an orange shirt before switching back to his green shirt, then he switches to a yellow shirt before skidooing and switching to a red shirt after skidooing and finally switching back to his green shirt, because of the game, "Presto Change-Joe" in A Brand New Game.
- In the UK version, it's called "Colours!" The reason is that Britain’s spelling uses 'colours' instead of 'colors'.
- The Viewer is portrayed as an orange stick figure in the Portrait of Pals.
- The picture of Magenta from Blue's Story Time, Adventures in Art, Blue Goes to the Beach, Magenta Comes Over, Blue's ABCs, Blue's Birthday, What Does Blue Want to Do with Her Picture?, Blue's Sad Day, What Is Blue Trying to Do?, Pool Party, Periwinkle Misses His Friend, Blue's Big Musical Movie, Shy, Blue's New Place, Let's Boogie, Steve Goes to College, The Big Book About Us, Blue Takes You to School, and Magenta's Messages shows her without her glasses, but her portrayal on the Portrait of Pals shows her with them.
- In the UK version, when Kevin draws the color yellow, the footage is the same as Joe's, except it's mirrored. It could be the only UK episode where the Joe notebook footage from the US is seen.
- Joe and Kevin wear a green, orange, yellow, and red squared shirt in order in this episode, except a blue or purple squared shirt.
- This episode was later remade in Blue's Clues & You!, titled Colors Everywhere with Blue.
- The usual wiping sound from the older Steve episodes was heard when Joe cleaned the pawprint.
Goofs[]
- At the end of the opening sequence, Blue enters the Blue's Clues house through her special doggy door. Joe shows up outside and leads us over to Blue, who has been outside for some time. This will continue to happen every time Joe is outside.
- At the end of the opening sequence, usually, the original instrument plays the 5-note ending, but an acoustic guitar plays the 5-note ending instead.
- At the end of the video letter, usually, the "We Are Looking for Blue's Clues" music plays, but a banjo plays instead.
- Sidetable says that her favorite color is purple in The Big Book About Us. Here, she states it is orange instead.
- Also in the remake, she says that her favorite color is the rainbow.
- Joe pulled out his Handy Dandy Notebook with a green-wrapped crayon, but when he drew the first clue for the color blue, he switched the crayon with the green wrapper to a colored blue crayon, the second clue for the color yellow, he switched to a colored yellow crayon to match his shirt, later, when he drew the third clue, the wrapper on the crayon turned red to match his shirt, then after he drew the clue, the wrapper on the crayon was green again.
- This episode is said that red and orange make vermillion, orange and yellow make marigold, yellow and green make chartreuse, green and blue make aquamarine, blue and purple make violet, and purple and red make magenta. However, it is very confusing what colors make vermillion, margiold, chartreuse, aquamarine, violet, and magenta.
