Blue – The Color of Trust and Reliability

Blue is a color of vast spaces like the sea and sky. It can soothe the mind as well as the soul. It can make us feel a sense of security, of trust and reliability. It is also a color that peaks our imaginations. It’s a color of noble characteristics, representing all that is good and virtuous.

The color is equally favored by men and women and the color Navy blue looks good on practically any skin tone. It’s the most popular color in world. That said, blue can also be seen as cold and passive, which is why it’s sometimes used to depict sadness.

Jeremy Irons, Fan-cast Frollo The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Jeremy Irons

There is a balancing act to casting a Frollo. Typically Frollo should be played by an actor that could conceivably look older than Quasimodo as Quasimodo is Frollo’s adoptive son.

However while Frollo is 36 years old in the novel, most actors who play Quasimodo are around 40 years ago old which ages up Frollo. So typically when fan-casting Frollo for any type of version Frollo is most often played by older actors.

Lady Kate Bridgerton – Simone Ashley

After a tumultuous start to their love story, Kate and Anthony marry off screen, which is sad that we the viewers were deprived of that event. Kate (née Sharma) in season three is Lady Kate (Kathani) Bridgerton, Viscountess Bridgerton. This makes her the lady of the house and one the heads of the Bridgerton family.

However Kate and Anthony are still in the honeymoon phase and like to go on prolong honeymoons together leaving others in charge. Hopefully they will get more screen time in upcoming seasons.

The third season of Netflix’s hit Regency Period show, Bridgerton, dropped on May 13, 2024. Based on Julia Quinn’s fourth book in the Bridgerton series, Romancing Minster Bridgerton, the season covers the love story between Colin and Penelope. Season three got a new show-runner, Jess Brownell, after the former show-runner, Chris Van Dusen, stepped down after season two.

Unlike previous seasons, the audience already knew these characters prior to the leading a season. So we already know who Penelope is, her home life, and her secrets.

However, there is still room for character growth and Penelope’s goal is to find a husband. She undergoes a make-over with a new wardrobe and hair styles. Gone of the citrus tones of the past and now she wears mainly blues and greens – mostly soft or muted tones.

This post is an overhaul of my article that was originally on hubpages which ranked Penelope’s season three costumes.
