Psychology of Color from Episode 1 of 91 Days

White Hue:

     In the opening scene of 91 Days, it was extremely intense moment for the characters. The children, Angelo and Luce, were both hiding in the closet in the hallway hoping to surprise their father when he got home. Instead, him and their mother get ambushed by the mafia in their living room. Both were seeing the events being unfolded until Luce begins to run to the living room. For the scene of Luce running towards the room, the directors made the creative decision to emphasize the bright light from the room to indicate what is going to happen in the next few shots. It's widely known concept that going towards the "light" indicates the end of a life. Making Luce run towards the light gives the message to the audience that he is about to pass away and he got shot moments later after entering the room. 

Blue Hue:

        After Angelo runs away from his house that was invaded by the mafia, Angelo ran towards his friend's house, Corteo's. Corteo and Angelo are friends before and after the mafia situation. When Angelo arrived, Corteo begins to comfort Angelo by providing him with warmth and care. Throughout the scene, the house had blue hues around the room with objects such as the blue blanket Angelo was given for comfort and the blue curtains. Although it can interpreted as sad and lonely due to the recent events, it also gives a sign of trust since Corteo said to Angelo, "from this day foward, we are brothers." This allows the audience to know further into the series, Angelo and Corteo have a strong trust relationship with each other and won't turn on each other backs and also showing to the audience whenever Corteo is around Angelo, he feels safe.

Purple Hue:

    After 7 years of the incident with Angelo's family. Both Angelo and Corteo went together to sell Corteo's homemade alcohol. They went to a shady bar and according to Corteo, have a massive amount of money. When entering the bar, the room have bright purple curtain around the room, which heavily contrasts the dull, monochrome clothes all the characters are wearing. This gives the message of the bar have a ton of riches and have royalty of being the best using the vibrant purple. At the same time Angelo and Corteo were at the bar, a robbery scene begins when another character walks in. Fango, in picture 2 with the gun in his hand, is wearing a mix of monochrome clothes with some red touch to his outfit. The red touch in the outfit indicates to the audience that this character have some evil intention when entering the bar and the gun further proves that this is a heist and Fango isn't afraid to shoot if something doesn't go his way.
