Oscar the Grouch used to be orange. Jim Henson decided to make him green before the second season of Sesame Street. How did Oscar explain the color change? He said he went on vacation to the very damp Swamp Mushy Muddy and turned green overnight.

I'm not sure however I suspect that it had something to do with "The New Green Deal".

I wonder if there is another explanation. I remember marching to a song in the Army that said:

"Sergeant Cooksey's turning green
Jody pissed in his canteen."
