The viral TikTok trend of asking “what color is the sky”is actually inspired by a popular song from the 2017 Disney movie Coco.
TikTok, a popular social media app, is well-known for its wide range of trends and challenges. These constantly emerge and gain popularity, often dominating users’ For You Pages.
The newest craze to emerge is the playful ‘what color is the sky’ game, where two individuals engage in a lighthearted conversation through text messages. However, what is the game centered around and how does it relate to the film Coco?
What Color is the Sky Trend on TikTok?
The origin of the trend can be traced back to the animated Disney movie Coco, where a part of the song ‘Un Poco Loco’ incorporates a call-and-response style. Notably, the same character sings both parts of the song, starting with the lyrics “What color is the sky”and continuing on.

The game begins when one person asks another, “What color is the sky?”Without knowing the context, the second person usually replies with “blue.”The first person continues to ask the same question until the second person recognizes that they are referencing the well-known song.
When the second person acknowledges it, it is customary for them to reply with “Ay mi amor, ay mi amor,” continuing the lyrics from ‘Un Poco Loco.’ This initiates a lyrical exchange, where both individuals take turns reciting lines from the song. The game concludes when they reach the start of the chorus.

Many videos showcasing this popular trend often depict the second person becoming more and more agitated as the question is asked repeatedly, until they eventually realize what is happening.
The trend first appeared on TikTok in 2022, but it has recently gained a resurgence in popularity in 2024. Disney enthusiasts participating in this playful game have garnered thousands of likes and views on the platform.
