Which of these is the odd one out?

answer: see post #2. I originally went for Elizabeth Taylor's eyes (not purple), but I was thinking of Gene Wilder's Jacket (purple) rather than Johnny Depp's (burgundy). Willy Wonka's 2005 jacket is probably the correct answer.
In reality, Taylor’s eyes were not purple at all, but dark blue, and merely appeared to be purple when exposed to lighting, make-up, particular hues of clothing or the photographic re-touching of her images.


Prize will be one bundle containing: a bottle of Iroshizuku ink, Lamy Safari 2016 Ltd Edition Fountain Pen, Mechanical Pencil and ballpoint in a Lamy tin, Leuchtturm pen loop, Diamine Shimmers Ink, Brunnen sharpener, eraser, ruler and hole punch, 2 x Lamy T10 ink catridges, Leuchtturm A5 lined notebook, Paperways Keyboard pad, Shorty Pencil, Rhodiarama softcover A5, Rhodia Colour R notepad, Castelli notebook with pencil, 2 x MT washi tape, Clairefontaine A5 fabric bound notebook. In total worth nearly £160.

The end date in the T&C is wrong.

    I agree Elizabeth Taylor's eyes weren't purple :)

    Thing is Willy Wonka's jacket in the 2005 version wasn't purple either......

    1964 Willy Wonka wore a purple jacket, but 2005 Willy Wonka wore a more red/burgundy/wine sort of colour jacket (or at least that's what it looks like to me! Not sure what colour it was "officially" :) )

    I agree Willy Wonka's jacket was purple but in 2005 it was burgundy as in these images http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Willy+Wonka+2005&qpvt=Willy+Wonka+2005&qpvt=Willy+Wonka+2005&qpvt=Willy+Wonka+2005&FORM=IGRE
