I was browseing Fluke's Tribute to Balto when I saw the Steele color key. I started to wonder if Steele was supposed to be blue...did Steele have a color change from blue to black and white? Heres the page I saw it on http://fluke.theicecave.org/pcolourkeys.shtml

I think its just the way he's shaded. I can't imagine Steele being blue.

Maybe. He looks blue on the cover of the DVD. It was probably a last minute change during the production. And I know this has nothing to do with Steele's coloring, but one of Balto's legs are colored wrong

And Balto's eyes are the same colour that his body. And look at his leg...
Strange pictures...

That is the colour key for the fight scene, when Steele and Balto our outside in the snow the way the light hits him makes his fur look blue.

I thought Steele looked blue in certain lights too.

In this cel, he is definetely blue xD

Steele was blue, they just darkened ihim on computer depending on the scene.

I don't call that blue...More light black and dark white...

Actually black is just a very dark shade of blue or sometimes green. Black as a colour does not tecnically exist.. that is all I remember from studying art for about 6 years.
