Remy, the protagonist of Pixar's Ratatouille, is officially described as a bluish-gray rat. In the film’s animation, his fur was specifically designed with blue undertones to distinguish him from the other rats in the clan, such as his brother Emile (who is brown) and his father Django (who is a darker charcoal gray). This unique "teal-gray" palette was chosen to make him look cleaner and more appealing to audiences, fitting his character as a gourmet chef. Under different lighting conditions in the movie—such as the warm glow of a kitchen or the cool shadows of a sewer—his fur may appear more distinctly blue or a neutral slate gray, but "bluish-gray" remains the canonical color description.
