Just about everything in this movie is a terrible shade of green.

Maybe to showcase her naivete'?

If you can't be good, at least be good at it!

I guess the green everywhere goes nicely with her red hair?

um, I guess, maybe that could be why.

It does bring out her hair......

On that note, it does make you wonder.....did they shoot in green to match Mirabelle's hair...or did they dye Mirabelle's hair to match the green....?

Claire Danes' color is green. Steve Martin's is red. If you watch it again, watch how the colors tell you the subtext of what's happening in the film.
