"Colors All Around" is the eighth episode from the fifth season of Barney & Friends.

Plot

Mr. Boyd needs help deciding what color to paint the cafeteria wall. The children help him decide by exploring the colors with Barney's special color hat. Choosing colored items from the hat prompts them to act out nursery rhymes and sing songs. They also explore new colors that are created when mixing two colors together when they start painting pictures. Barney throws the hat into the air and a rainbow spills out onto the playground: a perfect mural for the hallway.

Adaptations

Baniwa Chingdeul

• In the Korean version, there is a wooden battery powered train instead of the one in the English version.
• "I Put a Smile On" is not sung in the Korean adaptation, although the beginning of the instrumental can be heard.
• This is one of the few Korean episodes to have an American format of the ending in which the kids actually say goodbye to Barney and leave before he turns back into a doll. (Normally, the Korean episodes would have Barney disappear during the second verse of "I Love You", and then pan over to him as a doll when the song ends).

• It is revealed that BJ's favorite color is yellow (like Baby Bop, Kristen, and Juan).
• The toy train that appeared in The Treehouse during the song "Down By the Station" was a model of the Western & Atlantic 3, known as "General" made by MTH Electric Trains (Also known as Mike's Train House). It also appeared in "You've Got To Have Art" as a decoration in the school library, and would also be used as a decoration in the caboose from Season 7 to onwards (Most notably A Fountain of Fun).
  • Soon after Barney & Friends ended, Carey Stinson actually kept it along with some of the other trains that appeared in Barney & Friends as well.
• Baby Bop and BJ go home in the middle of the episode, instead of near the end of the episode, like usual.

After the kids compliment on the rainbow, and Mr. Boyd says goodbye, the kids say goodbye to Barney and leave just before Barney dissolves back into his doll form.
