Sherwood Forest is rich with green and brown colors. Its earthly hue is symbolic in the fact that it provides shelter for Robin Hood and his rebels who are grounded in nature. Even the cloths they wear match that of Mother Nature almost as though they are one and the same. The weapons too are constructed from nature. Robin reaffirms this idea of nature’s bond with the rebels when he said, “what don’t we have that the forest cannot provide?”
Nottingham Castle
Nottingham Castle on the other hand is man made symbolizing the Sheriff’s desire to conquer all, including nature itself. The blacks, whites, and grays that radiate from the stone fortress and clothing give off a dull and dreary persona. Nature eventually wins out over the artificiality of Nottingham Castle.
