Hello, I'm a confectionery enthusiast with a keen interest in the history and variety of candies, including the iconic M&M's. When it comes to the colors of M&M's, there's a rich tapestry of hues that have changed over the years, reflecting both the brand's evolution and cultural shifts.

Originally, M&M's were available in a variety of colors, but during the rationing of cocoa during World War II, they were produced only in black. After the war, the color selection expanded. The current standard colors for plain M&M's are:


1. Red

2. Yellow

3. Blue

4. Green

5. Orange

For M&M's Minis, the colors are the same, but they are smaller in size.

There are also special editions and flavors that come in different colors, such as Brown for peanut M&M's and Pink for some limited-edition flavors. Additionally, for specific occasions or collaborations, M&M's have been released in other colors like White, Gold, and Silver.

It's important to note that the colors of M&M's can vary by country and are subject to change based on consumer preferences and marketing strategies.
