With this knowledge in mind, the whole show opens up to speculation and analysis. For instance, while Jimmy’s (Bob Odenkirk) iconic car for much of the series is yellow, one of its doors is red. This suggests that even though Jimmy appears to be an upright citizen, there’s always a path to the criminal world for him and even a temptation for his character to return to it.
“We really thought about what the world looks like to Jimmy,” Gould said. “Colorwise, he’s already bridging those worlds a little bit.” This is why Saul Goodman often appears in earthy-toned suits, which can contain traces of both the cool and hot colors in the show.
Of course, this makes a ton of sense, considering Jimmy’s background in “Better Call Saul.” A former criminal and conman, Jimmy struggles to stay on the right side of the law for much of the series. Naturally, as “Breaking Bad” fans well know, this is a battle he will eventually lose. Still, watching the character squirm, morally speaking, is one of the show’s best aspects and part of what helps to make him such a compelling protagonist in the first place, no matter what color he’s wearing.
