“Every character has a specific color — it’s a nice way of giving people their own identity. We use color like comic books do, with each character staying in their lane as far their palette goes: T’Challa is purple, Okoye is red, and Nakia is green.
[Nakia] is the No. 1 warrior in the River tribe and her look was inspired by the Suri tribe in Africa,” says Carter. “Green signifies water, a coastal community, leaves and plants — they live in a lush area, as opposed to the perception that Africa is arid and dry.” – Black Panther costume designer Ruth Carter
Day 15 | Emotive Scene: T’Challa vs. Killmonger at Warrior Falls
Black Panther Dir. Ryan Coogler, 2018
This first battle moment between T’Challa and Killmonger was really intense. There’s so many different emotions going on here from watching these two fight and they carry over well from that first confrontation in the throne room when he’s brought in front of the council.
The expressions of pain and fear on Shuri and Ramonda’s faces also made it that much bigger of a contrast from his coronation – shows how much their world is starting to fall apart 😥
