I’ve come across early drawings of your Vision redesign online and one of
them lists the colors you intended. Of course there are many examples of
colored versions of these drawings, as well. I liked them but nowhere near
as much as the totally white version you ended up going with. My questions
are, what made you change your mind about the colors and what made you
go with white?

Colors were presented as an option to the editor, mostly to show they didn’t really work.

White was my only real choice.

(After the explosion of outrage from fans when I made the change, it was amusing to see the white Vision play such a prominent role in WANDAVISION.)

Found this online, colored by Matt Wilson:


Have to admit, it took me years into my comics reading to click that the Vision had red skin. Just....didn't see it.

I was introduced to the Vision thru back issues after my return to comic reading. The scene in which the Wasp first sees him emerge from a wall (some panels obviously redrawn by Marie Severin— I know not why) was very odd. Jan sees this clown colored figure and declares him a “vision”??

Worked perfectly. I remember seeing that first panel with him. It was one of
those “what? How could they? But it looks so cool!!” moments. One of the
best redesigns ever.
