* ColorMotif: Yellow, Truman frequently wears yellow clothes as shown by his yellow sweater, yellow jacket, yellow tie, and his white and yellow marching band uniform in the flashback. His house also has yellow interior decorations, as shown by the wall paint. In terms of symbolism, yellow is associated with cheerfulness, happiness, and optimism, which fits in with the ideology of ''The Truman Show'', as Truman's life was designed to be perfectly saccharine for the main character. However, yellow is also associated with deceit and falsehood, which connects to how artificial Truman's life really is and how he desires to escape it, as shown by how he wears black clothes in the final act.
