Fear the Walking Dead Boss Explains the Dream Scenes EyePopping Colors

Fear the Walking Dead co-showrunner Ian Goldberg discusses the eye-catching colors used in the latest episode's dream sequences.

WARNING: The following contains minor spoilers for Fear the Walking Dead Season 6, Episode 12, "In Dreams," which aired Sunday, May 9 on AMC.

The latest episode of Fear The Walking Dead Season 6, titled "In Dreams," utilizes a very different color palate than what fans of The Walking Dead Universe are accustomed to. More specifically, a bright, eye-catching shade of pink often pop ups all over the screen during the episode's actual dream sequences, helping viewers to differentiate them from the show's reality.

During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg were asked why this particular aesthetic was chosen. "That came from some very and exciting conversations with director Mikey Satrazemis from the get-go of what this world was going to look like, how we were going to differentiate it from the real world, but also kind of incorporate this bleed between Grace's memories, Grace's subconscious, things that happen to Grace in the real world, that are suddenly bleeding into the vision in that Eternal Sunshine way," Goldberg said.

"That's what led to that pink tree aesthetic," Goldberg continued. "It's really magical and beautiful, and it just brings you into this world that you want to be a part of. I think Mikey just realized it so beautifully."
