Monsters Come in Many Colors

Monsters Come in Many Colors! is a 1980 Sesame Street storybook that explains how monsters get their colors. According to Herry Monster, monsters are naturally a dull beige color. They visit the monster paint factory to choose their own colors to match their environment. One little monster chooses to paint herself a mix of red, yellow, blue and green, so she can hide in a flower garden -- or in a crowd of colorful monsters.
