Color symbolism in dark: Pink and its possible meanings
In Rachel's email, she brings up the color pink and how it may represent different things in different contexts in the show. For example, she mentions Marta wearing dark pink at the beach, light pink before her death, Alt-Ulric wearing a pink dress shirt at the police station, and Katarina's mom wearing a vibrant pink jacket. While sexual purity may not be the direct symbolism behind pink in the show, it could represent innocence, naivety, or the loss of innocence. The presence of pink in various scenes may relate to the characters' journeys and experiences, whether it's Marta's growing understanding, Alt-Ulric's lack of knowledge about time travel, or Katarina's loss of innocence due to abuse. Overall, the color pink in dark signifies a shift in the characters' perspectives or the unveiling of hidden truths.
Yellow ball symbolism in Martha's revelation
Rachel points out the presence of a yellow ball floating behind Magnus and Bartos during the story about the woman at the bottom of the lake. This yellow ball can be seen as a taunting symbol, appearing like Martha's mother laughing at the characters, revealing the truth about Martha's parentage. It serves as a moment of realization and shock for Magnus and Bartos, and reflects the audience's reaction when they learn the truth.
