Bernard was at one point intended to wear an orange sweatshirt to complete the wheel of primary and secondary colors formed by the other five major characters (red for Madame Medusa, yellow for Mr. Snoops, blue for Penny, purple for Miss Bianca and green for Brutus and Nero), but the color was changed to red because it suited the character better; Bernard is seen sporting an orange jacket during a few scenes in the film. It must be noted that, though red is her primary color, Madame Medusa's hair is also a fiery orange.
