Compared to many other uniforms seen in Korea, the ones worn in All of Us Are Dead have been seen as distinct due to the bottle green color.

Considering the amount of work put into the makeup, it is hard to disagree that the two colors make everything look chilling. In particular, there is also a meaning that artists have used for years. Red and green are complementary colors, meaning they are “opposites” on the color wheel.
In particular, complementary colors means that the one color they don’t have in their shade is the one that sits opposite to them. For this reason, many believe that complementary colors provide a very significant visual tension.
Considering the storyline and how significant the two colors are in the show, portraying the increasing danger for the students, the director couldn’t have picked a better color.
Yet, it isn’t the first time a Netflix show has gained praise for its attention to detail. When Squid Game was released, director Hwang Dong Hyuk explained that he had a special reason for picking the colors along with the chilling reason for adding a ribbon.
The main colors of the managers are black and pink. So I matched those tones, like BLACKPINK.
