A lot of people don't know that the original slippers in the Wizard of Oz were silver.  Not Ruby.  The creaters of the film want them to stand out.  Here is a clip of them as silver. If they are going to remake it, them make as Baum wanted to tell the story.  Also read the book.  Much better then the movie.

I had the original Oz books and yes, they were silver slippers and the ruby showed better on Technicolor.  I have read that the theme behind the story was something about the gold standard (yellow brick road), silver (the slippers) and ounces (Oz).
