What was santas original color?
The original colour of Santa - AKA Saint Nicholas (Santa was his
nickname) was green. He was a Bishop, and green was the colour of
his Bishop robes.
He became famous because he was known to leave gifts and food
for poor families and orphaned children on Christmas, hence where
we get our stories of Santa Claus from.
Coca-Cola changed his colour from green to red during their
adverts on TV, because green represented their rival company,
7-Up.
