the pale hospital-blue and sterile white of the palette reinforce the cold, inhumane, barren atmosphere of the lab, emphasizing how both Yuri and Lucas were stripped from their humanity. The soft blue and muted tones mirror the numb, dreamlike state that the characters are forced into while still hinting at some buried light in their world that keep them connected through alternative, warped realities. Such colors exemplify the warped perception of reality in the play, creating a visual sense of drifting between the unintelligible truth, and an intelligible lie. The gentle blues and grays present the concept of the blurred boundaries between dream and reality, subtly implying at the idea that reality is subjective, being a core theme in the story, and the philosophical concept that perception shapes existence.
