Who doesn't know Mickey Mouse, the famous mascot of The Disney Company? While the character first appeared in a black and white cartoon in 1928, his look underwent significant changes in 1935, when Mickey appeared in color.^[1] 

Mickey's color palette is a bold mix of black, white, red, and yellow. He inherited his black fur from when he appeared in black and white. Later, Mickey got white gloves to help distinguish his hands from the remainder of his body. In the era of Technicolor, red shorts and yellow shoes were added. This color choice is easy to understand — these are two of the brightest, most eye-catching colors technically achievable at the time.
