However at a panel at San Diego Comic-Con promoting Mecha Builders, Elmo says that his skin is orange, which is why his nose is orange. While the color of his fur is evident as one of his most identifying features, the skin beneath his fur is also red as noted in a 2014 sketch with Lupita Nyong'o ( First: Episode 4503). His eyelids are lavender in color, accentuated by brown eyelashes (with variants in animation). Īlthough they're not always visible, Elmo does have eyelids that become visible when he's sleepy. Brussels sprouts have often been listed among Elmo's pet peeves in press kit bios. In 2000, Elmo told Donnie and Marie Osmond that his mother and father tell him to never "hate" any food, but he makes an exception for Brussels sprouts ( Marie decided to taunt him with a bowl of them). This has been reaffirmed on Rove Live and in other interviews, along with the Muppet bios published in several Sesame Workshop press kits.
