Color Red In The Matrix

In The Matrix, the primary color seen is a green, it is as if everything is immersed in an uncanny green light that what normally would be seen on computer screens in the 90’s, almost as if the movie was shot with a tinted lense. The green color suggests that what is seen through the Matrix is being screened through something else, something that cannot be seen in the real world. The color green generally represents nature, spring, youth or freshness but in this case it symbolizes something evil or sinister. That “something” is the antagonist in this film, the machines.
