The dominant red, blue and yellow of the minatures became the film's color scheme. Background supervisor Kathy Altieri explained that in the paintings, blue is associated with water, a life-giving force in the desert. For this reason, the good guys are dressed in blue, like Aladdin, or simply are blue like the Genie. Red and orange are used for the villian Jafar and his parrot Iago. Yellow is the color of the desert and the city of Agrabath.
