I love the avant-garde use of color in this one. Red, white and black, baby! Star Wars did it for a reason, the color scheme just works... Plenty of flags use the color scheme too, similar reason.
I so adore the color work in this chapter. It winds up feeling so jarring it communicates... a sense of unreality. Like the strangeness. The characters don't know the color is there. But it changes the scene. It's an atmosphere....
