The series Breaking Bad is rightfully considered a cult project and has earned a significant rating of 8.9 on IMDB. Fans of Walter White's story believe the screenwriters managed to maintain the tension throughout all five seasons. It’s no surprise that Breaking Bad even made it into the Guinness World Records as the most critically acclaimed project.
The creators truly did an incredible job with the script, editing, and on set. Every detail mattered for the storyline.One of the notable aspects is how colors are used on screen. Some shades could serve as spoilers for future events.
Walter White’s wardrobe
At the start of the series, the main character prefers neutral tones in his clothing. He wears simple beige or light yellow shirts and khaki pants. This reflects his indecisiveness and character traits he tries to suppress.
After his life-changing decision to get involved in the illegal business, White begins to wear green clothes more often. Over time, he transitions to blue tones, and by the fourth season, his wardrobe consists mostly of black clothing.
On screen, this creates the feeling that he is a ghost, risen from hell. This dark shade proves that the creators of the series never intended for his character to find redemption.
The colors of the characters' clothing in Breaking Bad
Special attention is given to blue shades. It represents the sky and the strip of the windshield of the main character's car. This is the color his wife Skyler prefers.
In the third season, Walter White also begins to wear similar clothing, showing that he is looking for a way to reconnect with his wife. However, after she learns about his criminal activities, she rejects her previous wardrobe. The character starts wearing dark green and black clothes, meaning there will be no happy ending for them.
In fact, even the main characters' names have their own "coloring." White translates to "white," Pinkman includes the color pink, and the name Skyler contains the word "sky," which is associated with blue tones.
